Answer to Problem 4SGA
The correct term is probability.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sentence is “The odds/probability of an event occurring is the ratio of the number of ways the event can succeed to the sum of the number of ways the event can succeed and the number of ways the event can fall”.
Calculation:
Consider that probability of the event that occurs is the ratio of the number of the ways the event will succeed to the total outcomes of the event that is same as the success and the failures.
Then, “Theprobability of an event occurring is the ratio of the number of ways the event can succeed to the sum of the number of ways the event can succeed and the number of ways the event can fall”
