Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationship between odds and probability. The odds in favor of an event are given as 3:4. This means that for every 3 occurrences of the event, there are 4 non-occurrences. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Odds**: - The odds in favor of an event being 3:4 means that there are 3 favorable outcomes (occurrences of the event) and 4 unfavorable outcomes (non-occurrences of the event). 2. **Total Outcomes**: - To find the total number of outcomes, we add the favorable and unfavorable outcomes together: \[ \text{Total Outcomes} = \text{Favorable Outcomes} + \text{Unfavorable Outcomes} = 3 + 4 = 7 \] 3. **Calculating Probability of Occurrence**: - The probability of occurrence of the event can be calculated using the formula: \[ P(\text{Occurrence}) = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}} = \frac{3}{7} \] 4. **Calculating Probability of Non-Occurrence**: - The probability of non-occurrence of the event can be calculated similarly: \[ P(\text{Non-Occurrence}) = \frac{\text{Number of Unfavorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}} = \frac{4}{7} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Probability of occurrence: \( \frac{3}{7} \) - (ii) Probability of non-occurrence: \( \frac{4}{7} \)
