About 8% of the U.S. population catches the flu each season. Assuming everyone has equal probability of catching the flu, about
avanturin [10]

Answer:

  • <u>The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 :  1 (0.09 to 1).</u>

Explanation:

The <em>odds </em>of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.

When you know the <em>probability</em> of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.

Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:

  • Odds = p / ( 1 - p)

You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.

Therefore:

  • Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)

How do you round 38496 to the nearest thousand
Leokris [45]
Since 38,496 is below 38,500, you round down.

Anything on and above 38,500 rounds up.

So, if you round to the nearest thousand, it would be 38,000.
