Now, I solve the problem for the second race.
Looking at the problem, I write the ratio of probabilities,
noting the probability of each animal to win with the
corresponding initial:
E/R = 2
E/H = 1/2
So, the probabilities for each animal to win are:
Hippopotamus -- 4x
Elephant --2x
Rhinoceros --x
The total is 7x.
The odds for the hippopotamus are: 3 to 4 against and 4 to 3 to
win
The odds for the elephant are: 5 to 2 against and 2 to 5 to win
The odds for the rhinoceros are: 6 to 1 against and 1 to 6 to win
