Are you taking their ratios?

ilovepuppies · Answer

I don't know what the means but.
P(10)+P(1+5) = 16
So 16 - 10 = 6
That leaves me with 6-10= 4 which is 1:4

Probabilities never exceed 1!

For the ticket question, you don't have to find probabilities to find odds.
For $\color{red}{example}$, the odds $for$ winning a green tickets
= # of green tickets : # of non-green tickets
= 100 (green)  : 25 (yellow) +5(blue)
=100 : 30
= 10 : 3   (after simplifications)

@ILovePuppies 
It's not a good idea to start a new post for the same question without a reference.  Other people will not be able to follow your thoughts.
Even with a reference, it is hard for others to go back and forth between two posts!
Thank you for understanding.
