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".

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
