**Introduction to Probability and Odds**

The probabilities of events A, B, and \(A \cap B\) are given. We will find (a) \(P(A \cup B)\), (b) the odds in favor of A and the odds against A, (c) the odds in favor of B and the odds against B, and (d) the odds in favor of and against \(A \cap B\).

Given:
\[ P(A) = 0.27, \, P(B) = 0.6, \, P(A \cap B) = 0.18 \]

---

**(a) Finding \(P(A \cup B)\)**

\[ P(A \cup B) = 0.69 \]

(Simplify your answer.)

---

**(b) The Odds in Favor and Against Event A**

- The odds in favor of A are \( \frac{27}{73} \).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

- The odds against A are \( \frac{73}{27} \).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

---

**(c) The Odds in Favor and Against Event B**

- The odds in favor of B are \( 3 \) : \( 2 \).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

- The odds against B are \( 2 \) : \( 3 \).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

---

**(d) The Odds in Favor and Against Event \(A \cap B\)**

- The odds in favor of \(A \cap B\) are \(\boxed{?} \) : \(\boxed{?}\).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

- The odds against \(A \cap B\) are \(\boxed{?} \) : \(\boxed{?}\).  
(Simplify your answer. Type whole numbers.)

**Explanation of Diagrams or Graphs**

This exercise does not include any graphs or diagrams. The problems involve calculating probabilities and odds based on given probabilities of events A, B, and their intersection.

**Conclusion**

Understanding the relationships between different events, their probabilities, and their odds is a crucial aspect of probability theory. The exercises above guide you through the process of calculating these values step-by-step.
