The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. Here, the odds in favor of Carl are 9:2, meaning there are 9 favorable outcomes for Carl and 2 unfavorable. The total outcomes are 9 + 2 = 11. Thus, the probability of Carl winning is $ \frac{9}{11} $.
