Explanation:
The odds in favor of 28 to 29 means there are 28 ways the event E could occur and 29 ways it doesn't occur.
So there are 28 instances out of 28+29 = 57 ways total.
It leads to the fraction 28/57 which cannot be reduced further.
Answer:
28/57
Step-by-step explanation:
odds in favor of event occurring = (probability event occurs)/(probability event does not occur)
Let p = probability event occurs.
Then the probability the event does not occur is 1 - p.
Let the odds = a/b.
a/b = p/(1 - p)
a(1 - p) = bp
a - ap = bp
bp + ap = a
p(a + b) = a
p = a/(a + b)
p = 28/(28 + 29)
p = 28/57
