Yellow: 5/8 Indigo: 1/8 red: 2/8 or 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are the odds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it this 2 yellow, 6 other colors, total of 8 colors. Odds against are 3 to 1 against.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was just writing down the probability of getting each color, that's not it :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O the one above is right the one I posted 2 yellow, 6 other colors, total of 8 colors. Odds against are 3 to 1 against.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/8 is all I can see possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the odd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me make sure, the wording gets tricky.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh I see. The probability of getting yellow is 5/8 so the probability of not getting a yellow is 3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the odds though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Odds of getting a yellow is 5/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Odds against is 3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now I have to go , sorry.
