Question(a) If the probability of ordering vanilla is 917\frac{9}{17}, what are the odds against it? (b) If the odds in favor of Carlos winning are 43\frac{4}{3}, find his winning probability.

Studdy Solution
(b) Calculate the probability of Carlos winning a prize.
(Carlos wins)=43+43=47(\text{Carlos wins}) = \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{ + \frac{4}{3}} = \frac{4}{7}So, the odds against a new customer ordering vanilla ice cream are 89\frac{8}{9} and the probability of Carlos winning a prize is 47\frac{4}{7}.
