Question 470456
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Probability:  The number of desireable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.


Odds:  The number of desireable outcomes divided by the number of undesireable outcomes.


The numerator of the odds fraction is equal to the numerator of the probability fraction.


The denominator of the odds fraction is the denominator of the probability fraction MINUS the numerator of the probability fraction.


Hence, if the probability is *[tex \LARGE \frac{n}{m}], the odds fraction is *[tex \LARGE \frac{n}{m\ -\ n}], also expressed as *[tex \LARGE n\,:\,(m\,-\,n),\ \ ]or *[tex \LARGE n\ \ ]to *[tex \LARGE m\ -\ n].
