2:3
If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%
It depends on whether the odds are in favour or against. Generally, the odds refer to a wins versus b losses. That is a wins out of a total number of a+b outcomes and so a probability of winning = a/(a+b).
-- If you roll one single 6-sided cube . . . probability = 331/3%, odds = 1 in 3, or 2 to 1 against it. -- If you roll a pair of 6-sided cubes . . . probability = 27/9%, odds = 1 in 36, or 35 to 1 against it.
The probability is 31/36.
If 'A' is five times more likely than 'B', then the odds of 'A' are 5 to 1, and its probability is [ 83 and 1/3 ] percent.
Odds against A = Probabillity against A / Probability for A Odds against A = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 * Probability for A = 1 - Probability for A 10.8 * Probability for A = 1 Probability for A = 1 / 10.8 Probability for A = 0.0926
Yes decimals are used in probability; also percent and odds.
Answerodds the odds in favour are p/(1-p)the odds against are (1-p)/p
If you mean like a coin toss, it's 50% probability of winning, also known as even or 1:1 odds. Winning once has a probability of p=0.5. Winning twice has a probability of p*p = p^2 = 0.25 = 25% = 1/4 = "1 chance in 4" = "odds of 3 to 1 against."

Probability of an event A is P(A) is the (chance of A)divided by (the total chances) and odd is (Chances for: Chances against) For example the probability of picking a 6 in a deck of cards is 4/52 and the odds are 4:52-4=4:48 or 1:12
If the odds against are 8 to 1, that means on the average you expect it to not happen 8 out of 9 times, and happen the other 1 time out of 9. 1 out of 9 is 1/9 = 11.1% probability that the event willoccur.
For 5 to 3 odds of winning; the probability of winning is 0.375 or 37.5%
