Answer:
(a). [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
(b). [tex]\frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Odds in favor of winning a new T.V. = [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
Or probability of not winning a new T.V. = [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
Since, Probability to win a T.V. + Probability of not winning the new T.V. = 1
Probability of winning a new T.V. = 1 - Probability of not winning a new T.V.
= 1 - [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7-4}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
(b). Probability of winning the match + probability of not winning the match = 1
[tex]\frac{9}{13}[/tex] + Probability of not winning the match = 1
Probability of not winning the match = 1 - [tex]\frac{9}{13}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13-9}{13}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{13}[/tex]
