Find the odds in favor of obtaining a red card when drawing 1 card from an ordinary
deck of 52 cards. State answer in ratio format, (example 1 to 2)

The probability of picking a red card from an ordinary deck of 52 cards is 0.50. ===> The probability of NOT picking a red card is 0.50
===> The odds in favor of obtaining a red card = prob'y of picking a red card/prob'y of not picking a red card = 0.50/0.50 = 1:1, i.e., 1 is to 1.
