Q. Five people (Antoine, Ben, Carla, Damien, and Evelyn) form a club, N = \{A, B, C, D, E }. Carla and Evelyn are women, and the others are men. If they choose a secretary randomly, find the odds in favor of Antoine becoming secretary.The odds in favor of Antoine becoming secretary are □ to □(Type whole numbers.)
Determine Total Number: Step 1: Determine the total number of people in the club.Reasoning: There are 5 members in the club, Antoine, Ben, Carla, Damien, and Evelyn.Calculation: N=5
Calculate Probability: Step 2: Calculate the probability of Antoine being chosen as secretary.Reasoning: Each member has an equal chance of being chosen, so the probability for Antoine is 1 out of 5.Calculation: Probability =51
Find Odds in Favor: Step 3: Find the odds in favor of Antoine becoming secretary.Reasoning: Odds in favor are calculated as the probability of the event happening divided by the probability of the event not happening.Calculation: Odds = (51)/(54)=41
