Step-by-step explanation:
Probability =
number of desirable outcomes
total number of possible outcomes
On a die, (number cube), there are 6 numbers, 3 of them are even
,
the probability of throwing an even number:
3
6
=
1
2
Odds =
number of desirable outcomes
number of non-desirable outcomes
, often written as
a
:
b
instead of
a
b
.
So the odds of rolling an even number are
3
:
(
6

3
)
=
1
:
