It's deduction. You can find the odds of something happening by first finding out the odds of that something not happening. That is converse probability. For instance the odds of rolling a "3" on a 6 sided die. Using converse probability would be 5/6 (5 sides are not the number "3"). 6/6 (six sides in all) - 5/6 = 1/6 is the odds of rolling that "3".

What does it mean to find the compliment of the probability of an event?

The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.

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


What is the probability of an event occurring to the probability that it will not occur?

The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
