The probability of an event happening can be at most 1: it cannot be 18.
Odd numbers are any number with 1,3,5,7,9 at the end of them i.e 135 but odds alone is used to represent chances of an event to happen against chances of not to happen, it is in relation to probability but it is not the same. For example, the probability when you throw two dices to obtain 1 and 1 is 1/36 but the odds are represented as 1 against 35, usually represented as 1 : 35.
four out of seven times
Odds of A to B in favour of an event states that for every A times an event occurs, the event does not occur B times. So, out of (A+B) trials, A are favourable to the event. that is, the probability of A is A/(A+B).
Odds of 2-1 mean that person offering the odds is moderately confident that the event in question will happen. If they offer 2-1, and you bet £/$ 10, if the event happens you would win £/$ 20 and the £/$ 10 that you bet on the event. So in total you would get £/$ 30 back.
The probability is 0.0198. The probability of that happening twice is 0.000393 Is this the odds of it happening twice with the same number?
Answerodds the odds in favour are p/(1-p)the odds against are (1-p)/p

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.
compliment- it's a word for the probability minus one, so it something has a .6 probability, the probability(compliment) it woun't occur is .4 The answer for the Statistic Crossword Puzzle is "odds"
odds"The odds against an event is a ratio of the probability that the event will fail to occur (failure) to the probability that the event will occur (success). To find odds you must first know or determine the probability of success and the probability of failure.Odds against event = P(event fails to occur)/P(event occurs) = P(failure)/P(success)The odds in favor of an event are expressed as a ratio of the probability that the event will occur to the probability that the event will fail to occur.Odds in favor of event = P(event occurs)/P(event fails to occur) = P(success)/P(failure)"Allen R. Angel, Christine D. Abbott, Dennis C. Runde. A Survey of Mathematics with Applications. Pearson Custom Publishing 2009. Pages 286-288.
If the probability is 5/12 then that is an acceptable answer in itself however it is also the same thing as 5 divided by twelve or .4167
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
Probability is a numeric expression of the "odds" that something will happen.
"Probability" =the chance that an event either will or won't happen. Every event eitherwill or won't happen, so the sum of the two chances is ' 1 '."Odds" =the ratio of the (probability that it will happen) to the (probability that it won't).-- If (happening) and (not-happening) are equally likely, then each probabilityis 0.5, and odds are 0.5/0.5 = 1 .-- If (happening) is more likely than (not-happening) then probability of happeningis more than 0.5, and probability of not-happening is less than 0.5.Their sum is still ' 1 ', because there is a 100% chance that the event will either happenor not happen.But the odds are now (more than 0.5)/(less than 0.5) = more than 1 .
