Answers:
Odds in favor are 22 to 3
Odds against are 3 to 22
How to get those answers:
The event has a probability of 22/25
There are 22 cases of the event happening, out of 25 cases total. Therefore, we have 25-22 = 3 cases where the event doesn't happen.
The odds in favor simply has us list the number of ways the event to happen vs it not to happen. So that's where the "22 to 3" comes from.
The odds against flips the previous odds. The order is important.
