13/15 - 1/3 Find a common denominator
1/3 x 5= 5/15
13/15 - 5/15 = 8/15
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question we use the following analogy:
Given that the odds of winning is a/b, then the probability is b/(a+b)
hence to solve the question we proceed as follows:
a]
P(E)=11/36
odds against E=(36-11)/11
simplifying this gives us:
25/11
b] P(E)=31/36
odds against E=(36-31)/31
simplifying this we get:
5/31
hence odds in favor of E=31/5
c]P(E)=32/36
odds in favor of E will be:
36/(36-32)
simplifying the above we get:
36/4
=9/1
d]
P(E)=30/36
odds against E will be:
(36-30)/36
simplifying this we obtain:
6/36
=1/5
e] P(E)=13/36
odds against E will be:
(36-13)/13
simplifying this we obtain:
23/13
