Just take the probability, which is a decimal number between 0 and 1, and convert it into a fraction.  For instance, a probability of 0.75 corresponds to odds of 3 in 4.

What is the meaning of beat the odds?

This is one of those really weird English sayings. I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that no one, ever, under any circumstances, "beats" the odds. Whatever we do, or whatever happens to us, the event is associated with some probability on some level. We may do many things to affect or change the probabilities, ranging from out-and-out cheating to all kinds of legitimate steps to improve the odds, but whatever happens next can be analyzed in terms of the actual remaining probabilities. If I have manipulated a situation in such a way that an outcome is certain, then I haven't "beaten" the odds, I have taken action to see that the odds are "one in one". If a rare event occurs, (winning a lottery), I haven't "beaten the odds", it's simply a matter of events unfolding as they did. Or.. It could mean:


What are the odds of kk against aq in poker?

The odds of being dealt AK in Texas Hold'em is computed as follows:The first card can be either an A or a K, a total of 8 possible cards out of 52 cards in the deck. So, the probability is 8/52 = .153846.If you get an A on your first card, there are 4 Ks; if you get a K on your first card, there are 4 As. So in either case, if you get an A or a K on your first cards, there are 4 possible cards out of the remaining 51 cards that will make the AK hand, which is a probability of 8/51 = .078431Now, multiply two probabilities and you have .0121.To convert from probabilities into odds, divide the probability by (1 - probability). So, .0121 / (1 - .0121) = about 82 to 1.

How you can find the brobability as a fraction?

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.
