Answer 1

`(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

`\because \text{Probability of an event}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}`

Here, the probability of A,

`P(A)=(4)/(9)`

By comparing,

Favourable outcomes of A = 4,

Total outcomes = 9,

So, unfavourable outcomes = total outcomes - favourable outcomes

= 9 - 4 = 5

Now,

`\text{Odd in favour}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Unfavorable outcomes}}`

Therefore, the odd in favour of A =
`(4)/(5)`
