Answer 1

probability that event A does NOT happen = 1 - (probability event A happens)

probability you do NOT get 2 heads & 1 tail = 1 - (probability you get 2 heads & 1 tail)

Answer 2

Odds is different from probability.

Answer 3

they're related ideas though

Answer 4

probability of getting 2 H, 1 T = 3/8

Answer 5

correct. so prob of not getting that is 5/8

So, 5/3

Answer 6

correct?

Answer 7

it should be 5/8 since 1 - (3/8) = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

Answer 8

you cannot have a probability larger than 1

5/3 = 1.667 > 1

Answer 9

bu that's probability, not odds. odds is prob of success over prob of failture

Answer 10

if they wanted to list odds, then they would have written "odds are 5 to 3"
the 5 referring to events of not getting 2H,1T
the 3 referring to events of getting 2H,1T

Answer 11

My book says"
"The odds of the successful outcome of an event is the ratio of the probability of its success to the probability of its failure
\(\large Odds=\Large\frac{P(s)}{P(f)}\)

Answer 12

oh strange, I've never seen odds defined like that before

Answer 13

so if that's the case, then yes you're correct

Answer 14

Okay, thank you

Answer 15

There is success and failure
Success Prob + Failure prob = 100% =1
faiulre Prob = 1-success prob
=1-3/8
=5/8
