Answer: 199: 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The odds against any event is the ratio of the unfavorable outcomes to the favorable outcomes.
Given , The winner of a raffle will receive a 21-foot outboard boat.
Total raffle tickets were sold = 6000
Number of tickets you have = 30
We assume that the lottery was fair , then, the number of possible outcome that you will win = 30
and the number of possible outcomes that one of the others wins = 6000-30= 5970
Then, the odds against your winning the boat = Number of possible outcomes that one of the others wins : Number of possible outcome that you will win
= 5970: 30 = 199:1 [∵[tex]\dfrac{5970}{30}=\dfrac{199}{1}[/tex]]
Hence, the odds against your winning the boat = 199: 1.
