The probability that San Francisco plays in the next Superbowl is nine times the probability that they do not play in the next superbowl.
P(they play) = 9x ; P(they do not play) = x
------------------------------------------
The probability that San Francisco plays in the next Superbowl plus the probability they do not play is 1.
9x+x = 1
10x = 1
x = 0.1 (prob. they do not play)
9x = 0.9 (prob. they play)
-------------------------
What is the probability that San Francisco plays in the next Superbowl?
P(they play) = 0.9
