\n" ); document.write( "Answer is 51:49 which is the same as writing 51 to 49\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Explanation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Event E has a probability of 51% occurring.
\n" ); document.write( "Think of this as 51/100
\n" ); document.write( "We have 51 instances of event E happening, and 100-51 = 49 instances where it doesn't happen, out of 100 trials total.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The odds in favor will have us list the count where E happens (51) followed by a colon, then the number of times E doesn't happen (49)
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, that's how we get to 51:49 which is the same as saying 51 to 49
\n" ); document.write( "This ratio cannot be reduced as the only factor in common with 51 and 49 is 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you wanted the odds against, simply flip the order
\n" ); document.write( "Odds in favor are 51:49
\n" ); document.write( "Odds against are 49:51
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
