What are the primary colors?
yes.
So what is the definition of odds?
Odds is the ratio that compares the number of favorable outcomes of an event to the number of unfavorable outcomes.
How many outcomes are favorable?
How many is that?
How many are unfavorable?
What is the ratio of favorable to unfavorable?
Reduce it
1 to 1 or 1/1
Now do number 2
Odds against an event = number of unfavorable outcomes : number of favorable outcomes.
There are 4 unfavorable and 2 favorable.
The odds FOR purple or blue would be 2:4 The odds AGAINST purple or blue would be 4:2
Probability is favorable /total
Reduce it.
I'm pretty sure that 3/6 is NOT 1/3
now do number 4
That would be the probability of rolling blue or purple.
Do you want me to smack you? How many outcomes are NOT blue or purple?
Reduce it.
ha ha very funny
