The odds against a chess-master beating a computer are 11:5. What is the probability the at the chessmaster will win a match against the chessmaster?

Given:

The odds against a chess-master beating a computer are 11:5.

To find:

The probability the at the chessmaster will win a match against the computer?

Solution:

Let E be the event the chessmaster will win a match against the computer.

Odds against a chess-master beating a computer

The odds against a chess-master beating a computer are 11:5. So,

Let P(E') and P(E) are 11x and 5x respectively.

Now,

Probability the at the chessmaster will win a match against the computer P(E) is

Therefore, the required probability is .

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
