oof, stuped me! thank you Damon
You are welcome.
Odds in favour of some event = prob(the event) : prob(not that event)
prob(a vowel) = 3/7
prob(not a vowel) = 4/7
odds in favour of a vowel = 3/7 : 4/7 = 3 : 4
prob(a vowel) = 3/7
prob(not a vowel) = 4/7
odds in favour of a vowel = 3/7 : 4/7 = 3 : 4
whoops sorry, I read probability, not odds
