When a single card is drawn from a shuffled deck of cards, find the odds
\n" ); document.write( "against getting a 9.
\n" ); document.write( "1. 1:12
\n" ); document.write( "2. 12:1
\n" ); document.write( "3. 51:1
\n" ); document.write( "4. 1:51
\n" ); document.write( "I think it is 12:1
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Odds against 9 = P(no 9)/P(9) = (12/13)/(1/13) = 12:1
\n" ); document.write( "====================
