If $P(E)=0.11$, find the odds against $E$.
What are the odds against $E$ ? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your answer.
A. The odds are $\square$ to $\square$.
(Type integers or decimals.)
B. The odds are
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
Answer
Therefore, the odds against E are \(\boxed{8.09}\) to \(\boxed{1}\).
Step 1 ：Given that the probability of event E, denoted as \(P(E)\), is 0.11.
Step 2 ：The probability that event E will not occur, denoted as \(P(\neg E)\), is calculated as 1 - \(P(E)\), which equals 1 - 0.11 = 0.89.
Step 3 ：The odds against E is the ratio of the probability that the event will not occur to the probability that the event will occur, which is \(\frac{P(\neg E)}{P(E)}\).
Step 4 ：Substituting the given values, we get \(\frac{0.89}{0.11}\) = 8.09.
Step 5 ：Therefore, the odds against E are \(\boxed{8.09}\) to \(\boxed{1}\).
