Answer:


(7)/(12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the odds given the probability

To get this, we have to divide the probability by 1 minus the probability

We have that as:


1-(7)/(19)\text{ = }(19-7)/(19)\text{ = }(12)/(19)

Now, we divide the probability by the above

We have that as:


(7)/(19)*(19)/(12)\text{ = }(7)/(12)
