Question 170259: A baseball player with a batting average of .300 comes to bat. What are the odds in favor of the ball player getting a hit. Answer by nerdybill(5404) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! odds = P(E)/(1-P(E))
.
Since P(E) = .30
odds = .30/(1-.30)
odds = .30/.70
odds = 1/2.33
odds = 1:2.33
