Probability+=+%28successes%29%2F%28successes%2B+failures%29

%28matrix%283%2C1%2Codds%2Cin%2Cfavor%29%29%22%22=%22%22%22successes%3Afailures%22

%28matrix%282%2C1%2Codds%2Cagainst%29%29%22%22=%22%22%22failures%3Asuccesses%22

----------------

For A:

Probability+=+%28successes%29%2F%28successes%2B+failures%29=5%2F11

So successes = 5, failures = 11-5 = 6


%28matrix%283%2C1%2Codds%2Cin%2Cfavor%29%29%22%22=%22%22%225%3A7%22

%28matrix%282%2C1%2Codds%2Cagainst%29%29%22%22=%22%22%227%3A5%22

For B:

Probability+=+%28successes%29%2F%28successes%2B+failures%29=3%2F4

So successes = 3, failures = 4-3 = 1


%28matrix%283%2C1%2Codds%2Cin%2Cfavor%29%29%22%22=%22%22%223%3A1%22

%28matrix%282%2C1%2Codds%2Cagainst%29%29%22%22=%22%22%221%3A3%22
