Sometimes probability statements are expressed in terms of odds. The odds in favor of an event A is the following ratio. P(A)/P(not A) = P(A)/P(A^c) For instance, if P(A) = 0.60, then P(A^C) = 0.40 and the odds in favor of A are 0.60/0.40 = 6/4 = 3/2, written as 3 to 2 or 3:2. Show that if we are given the odds in favor of event A as n:m, the probability of event A is given by the following....
