manuel and ruben played dominoes 24 times. Ruben has won 16 times. estimate the odds in favor of Manuel's winning the next match.
Answered by Reiny
prob(Ruben winning) = 16/24 = 2/3
prob(Ruben NOT winning) = 1/3
so
prob(Manuel winngin) = 1/3
prob(Man not winning) = 2/3

odds in favour of Manuel winning
= (1/3) : (2/3)
= 1 : 2
