Question

The probability of an event happening is 5/9 what are the odds of the event happening

Answer 1

Answer:

It is basically the ratio of the probability of something happening to the probability of something not happening. In the above example, the odds in favor are simply 5/9:4/9 = 5:4. When you hear that the odds are 2:1 for, it means that it is twice as likely to happen (2/3 probability for : 1/3 probability against)

Answer 2

Answer:

For any event P ( A)

odd favour ( A ) = P ( A) / 1- P (A)

Odds against this event is simply the reciprocal of the odds in favour

Odds against ( A) = 1 - P ( A) / P ( A)

1 - 5/9 / 5/9 = 4/9 /5/9

4/9 × 9/5

= 4/5
