Solution

(a) The odds in favor of Ann winning a medium stuffed animal are calculated by dividing the number of medium balloons by the total number of balloons. There are 5 medium balloons and 12 total balloons. So, the odds in favor are 5/12.

(b) The odds against Ann winning a medium stuffed animal are calculated by dividing the number of non-medium balloons by the total number of balloons. There are 7 non-medium balloons (3 small, 2 large, 2 extra-large) and 12 total balloons. So, the odds against are 7/12.
