Answer:
[tex]Odds\ Against = 6249:1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Lightning with L
Given
[tex]P(L) = 0.00016[/tex]
Required
Determine the odds against lightning
First, we need to determine the probability of not being struck;
Represent this with P(L')
[tex]P(L') + P(L) = 1[/tex]
Make P(L') the subject
[tex]P(L') = 1 - P(L)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]P(L) = 0.00016[/tex]
[tex]P(L') = 1 - 0.00016[/tex]
[tex]P(L') = 0.99984[/tex]
Now, the odds against lightning can be calculated;
[tex]Odds\ Against = \frac{P(L')}{P(L)}[/tex]
[tex]Odds\ Against = \frac{0.99984}{0.00016}[/tex]
[tex]Odds\ Against = 6249:1[/tex]
The odds against lightning is 6249:1
