Answer 1

Odds in favor of a person selected at random testing positive on the test = No. of success : No. of failures

Here No. of success = No. of people tested positive = 5

No. of failure = No. of people tested negative = 110

So, odds in favor of a person testing positive = 5:110 = 5/110 = 0.0455
