Odds Formula
The formulas for calculating probability and odds are:
Formulas:
Probability = (Favorable Outcomes / Total Outcomes) × 100%
Odds = Favorable Outcomes : Unfavorable Outcomes
Examples
Practical Examples
Example 1 Rolling a Die
What are the odds of rolling a 6 on a standard die?
Favorable Outcomes: 1 (rolling a 6)
Total Outcomes: 6 (all possible numbers)
Probability = (1/6) × 100% = 16.67%
Odds = 1:5
Example 2 Drawing Cards
What are the odds of drawing a heart from a standard deck?
Favorable Outcomes: 13 (hearts in deck)
Total Outcomes: 52 (total cards)
Probability = (13/52) × 100% = 25%
Odds = 13:39 = 1:3
