Really? How can probability be greater than 1?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It's odds, not probability

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Odds is prob successful outcomes over the probability of failure

OpenStudy (mahmood786123):

I think it 3/4

And instead of using the origanal smiley face I will use a different one

OpenStudy (mahmood786123):

[----------------------- ] [ ] [ 0 0 ] [ /\ ] [ ] [ \______________/ ] [ ] [----------------------- ]

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

still it would be 24-6=18 << desirable outcome over 24 << possible outcomes 18/24

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, thank you.

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I just feel like the numerator should be larger than the denominator...

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

because the probability of not getting a senior is larger than the prob of getting a senior

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

But 18/24 does make the most sense...
