Probability and odds in favor of event

Reference no: EM13102355

The odds in favor of an event are the number of successes divided by the number of failures. The probability of this event occurring is the number of successes divided by the sum of the number of successes and the number of failures. The number of successes is five and the number of failures is four.

Find the odds in favor of success.
