If the odds against an event are 9.8 find the probability that the event will occur?

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
