Question

If the odds of a certain baseball team winning a game is \(\dfrac{4}{9}\) and there are 156 games in the regular season, then how many games can they except to win?

Answer 1

odds are 4:9 meaning the probability of winning is \(\frac{4}{4+9}=\frac{4}{13}\)

Answer 2

why 4+9?

Answer 3

@satellite73 can u help me after?

Answer 5

odd of winning is probability of winning divided by probability of losing
another way to think about it is , if the odds are 4:9 then out of 13 games you win 4, lose 9
