  Odds in Favor:
  Odds m:n (read aloud "m to n") in favor of an event mean we expect the event will occur m times for every n times it does not occur. When the odd in favor of an event are m:n, the probability the event will occur is given as m/(m+n).

• 2/5 = M/(M+N)
  3/5 = N/(M+N)
  So M:N = 2:3 ANS
