What are the different outcomes and their frequencies?arrow_forwardIn gambling, the chances of winning are often written in terms of odds rather than probabilities. The odds of winning is the ratio of the number of successful outcomes to the number of unsuccessful outcomes. The odds of losing is the ratio of the number of unsuccessful outcomes to the number of successful outcomes. For example, if the number of successful outcomes is 2 and the number of unsuccessful outcomes is 3, the odds of winning are 2:3 (read "2 to 3") or 2 2 (Note: If the odds of winning are the probability of success is 3' 5.) 2 3 The odds of an event occurring are 3:1.
