Question

Find the odds of an event occurring given the probability of the event 6/7

Answer 1

Odds is the ratio of favourable outcomes to non-favourable outcomes:

Let:

P = probability of an event occurring = 6/7

Q = probability of the event not occurring = 1 - P = 1 - 6/7 = 1/7

Therefore, the odds will be:

`(P)/(Q)=((6)/(7))/((1)/(7))=6`
