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".

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.
No 1.001 is not a probability. Probability can not be >1
The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5
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
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
