Question 163113: In a certain town, 25% of people commute to work by bicycle. If a person is selected randomly from the town, what are the odds against selecting someone who commutes by bicycle? Answer by consc198(59) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So if 25% of the people go to work by bicycle then that means that 75% of people go to work by other means of transportation.
Therefore the odds against selecting someone who commutes by bicycle are 75% or 75/100 or 0.75.
