The manager of an ice cream shop found that the probability of a new customer ordering vanilla ice cream is 7/19.What are the odds against a new customer ordering vanilla ice cream?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the odds given the probability

To get this, we have to divide the probability by 1 minus the probability

We have that as:

[tex]1-\frac{7}{19}\text{ = }\frac{19-7}{19}\text{ = }\frac{12}{19}[/tex]

Now, we divide the probability by the above

We have that as:

[tex]\frac{7}{19}\times\frac{19}{12}\text{ = }\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
