Question

If the probability is 2/3 then what is the odds ?

Answer 1

`2:1`

Explanation:

Odds are generally written as:

Thing happening : Thing not happening

For instance, with the probability of `2/3`, we can associate that with rolling a fair die and getting a number that is less than 5. There are 4 ways it can happen and 2 that it can't. And so for the probability of `2/3`, the odds are:

`2:1`

or for every two chances of getting less than 5, there's one chance of getting 5 or 6.
