Question 972953
.
Probability of x is given by :
{{{P[x]=chances_for/total_chances}}}
The probability of rolling the one is 1/6.
Odds are given by:
Odds=chances for:chances against
The chance of rolling a one is 1 in 6
The chance against rolling a 1 is (1-chance of rolling 1)=5/6
So odds of rolling a 1 :
1/6:5/6=1:5
1 to 5 (1 chance to roll a 1 to 5 chances of rolling something else)
The difference being probability uses total chances and odds use chances against.
