Answer:

Probability = 50%

Odds = 5:5

Explanation:

Probability is a ratio of desired outcomes to

total outcomes.

desired outcomes 5 / total outcomes 10

Probability = 5/10 = .50 = 50%

__________________________________________

While Odds are Ratio of a desired to undesired outcome.

desired outcome = 5

undesired outcome = 5

Odds = 5:5
