Answer:
Consider the complete question is,
'The odds in favor of frank McKinney winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9,
- Determine the probability that Frank will win the contest,
- Determine the probability that Frank will not win the contest'
Solution :
We know that,
Odds in favor : the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome can occur compared to how many ways it cannot occur.
We have,
So, total outcomes = 2 + 9 = 11,
Thus, the probability that Frank will win the contest =
And,
The probability that Frank will win the contest =
In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
