Chance of winning: 4.76%
If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%
well there are 6 sides and the odd of hitting one is a 1 out of 6 chance. the odds of hitting five is a 5 out 6 chance
Either way you are buying 5 tickets out of 500. That means that the probability of winning is 5/500 = 1/100 = 1%
A fair chance of winning is more than 50% chance of winning. Therefore probability = 0.5 We need to find a fair chance of winning atleast one match. 1-(5/6)^n > 0.5 hence, n=4 QED (quite easily done, :-p)
on a 6-sided die theres a 1/6 chance
If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%
For 5 to 3 odds of winning; the probability of winning is 0.375 or 37.5%
5 to 1 to win means the probability of actually winning is 1 to 5, or 0.2. The larger the payout, the longer (or poorer) the odds. Actually, 5 to 1 means 1 chance in 6 or 16.7%. Of course, race track odds may not be the true probablity of winning.
I assume the probability is given a percent, or as odds, i.e. there's a 20% chance or 1 in 5 chance. You convert a percent by dividing by 100, 20% = 0.20, you convert odds by dividing the first number by the second, ie: 1/5 = 0.20.
The chance of winning a raffle with 200 tickets in the barrel depends on how many tickets you own. If you have one ticket, your probability of winning is 1 in 200, or 0.5%. If you have multiple tickets, simply divide the number of tickets you own by the total number of tickets (200) to calculate your odds. For example, if you have 10 tickets, your chance of winning would be 10 in 200, or 5%.

What the previous person said is incorrect, the lowest percentage of winning, at least on a double zero wheel is 2.63%, there is no 0.04 percent chance. so therefore every single spin if you bet on one number would be 2.63% chance of winning, out of all 276 spins your odds would still be 2.63% chance of winning in total, keep in mind one number pays 35 to 1 so if you bet 5 dollars and won, you would have 175 dollars, and you would have 35 chances to break even. No chance, because if 0.04% of the time you lose, you're losing all of the time. The odds, however, in roulette stay fixed, so at any one time, you'd have a 99.96% chance of winning with those odds.
the odds are calculated by multiplying the number of balls in sequence... for a 5 number win it would be 32x31x30x29x28.... to 1. the draw of your first number is 32:1 odds... your second number then becomes 31:1 odds and so on... or you have 1 chance in 24,165,120 to hit 5 numbers from a 32 ball machine
The probability is 0.416667 or 41.67%
The odds of winning with a two card Texas Hold'em hand depend on the specific cards you have and the cards on the table. Generally, the odds of winning with a random two card hand are around 1 in 5, or 20. However, this can vary based on factors like the skill of the players and the community cards dealt.
Odds are expressed as a ratio of probability of winning versus probability of not winning. Consider a simple example of tossing a fair dice where you "win" if it lands on three. P(three):P(not three) = (1/6) : (5/6) = 1:5 . So your odds of winning are 5 to 1 against. Now let's imagine to win lotto you need to guess 6 numbers correctly out of 45 and each guess costs $1. Probability of winning (from 1 guess) = 1/(45 x 44 x 43 x 42 x 41 x 40) = 0.000000000171 Probability of not winning = 1-P(winning) = 0.999999999829 So the odds are 0.000000000171:0.999999999829 = 1:5,864,443,199 or just under 6 billion to 1 against!
