Question 1110508: P(E) is the probability of an event E occurring and O(E) is the odds for an event E occurring.
If O(E)= 3:7, find P(E)

odds are probability of something's occurring/probability of something's not occurring. The probability would be the same numerator over the sum of the numbers; 3:7 would become a probability of 3/10 or 0.30=p(E) ANSWER
