Question

What is the Compound Event?

Answer 1

Compound Event : If there are more than one element of the sample space in the set representing an event, then this event is called a compound event, i.e., if we throw a dic, having $S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ the event of an odd number being shown is given by $E=\{1,3,5\}$.

Odds in favour of an event $A$ is defined as

$\frac{\text { number of favourable events }}{\text { number of unfavourable events }}$

Similarly, odds against an event $\mathrm{A}$

$=\frac{\text { number of unfavourable events }}{\text { number of favourable events }}$
