Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words, carl's losing odds are 7 : 5, so his winning odds will be 5 : 7

So if they play (7+5=12) 12 times, carl will win 5 times.

To find probability that carl will beat his friend, we take the probability of Carl winning. Simple!

The probability is  5/ 12
