Answer:

1 /4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Let :

P(S) = probability of drawing a spade

Odds in favor of drawing a spade = 1:3 ; this could be interpreted as :

P(drawing a spade)/P(not drawing a spade) = 1:3

P(S) / P(S') = 1/ 3

P(S') = 1 - P(S)

P(S) / (1 - P(S)) = 1 / 3

Cross multiply :

3P(S) = 1 - P(S)

Collect like terms

3P(S) + P(S) = 1

4P(S) = 1

P(S) = 1/4

Hence, probability ratio of drawing a spade P(S) = 1/4

A box contains 2 plain pencils and 2 pens. A second box contains 3 color pencils and 5 crayons. One item from each box is chosen
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

50% pen first box and 62.5% crayon from second box

Step-by-step explanation:

The first box contains 4 items, 2 of each. This means there are \frac{2}{4} pens. This gives you a \frac{2}{4} chance of picking out a pen. This can be written as 50%.

The second box contains 8 items, 3 color pencils and 5 crayons. This means \frac{5}{8} of the contents are crayons, meaning you have a \frac{5}{8} or 62.5% chance of picking a crayon.

*For working out the percentages, you should convert the fraction to a decimal and then multiply that by 100.

**This content involves fractions, decimals and percentages, as well as basic probability, which you may want to revise. I'm always happy to help!
