Answer:

0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

If the event that a certain horse places second has 7 to 93 odds, it means that out of 7+93 trials, the horse is expected to finish in second place in 7 trials and to not finish in second in 93 trials. The degree of likelihood expressed as a value between 0 and 1 is:

[tex]P=\frac{7}{7+93}\\P=0.07[/tex]

The probability is 0.07.
