Best folder name: probability-to-odds

HOW TO USE IT

Choose whether your probability is written as a decimal, percent or fraction.

Enter the value, then press SOLVE. The result gives odds for the event and odds against the event.

Decimal example: 0.6. Percent example: 60. Fraction example: 3 and 5.

EXAMPLES

If probability is 0.6, the chance of the event is 0.6 and the chance of not happening is 0.4.

Odds for are 0.6:0.4, simplified to 3:2.

Odds against are 0.4:0.6, simplified to 2:3.

WHO USES IT

Students use it for probability, odds ratio questions and exam revision.

Teachers and tutors use it to show how probability p compares with the remaining chance 1-p.

Common searches include probability to odds calculator, percent to odds and decimal to odds ratio.

FORMULAS

Odds for compare the chance of the event with the chance it does not happen.

Odds for = p : (1-p).

Odds against reverse the same parts.

Odds against = (1-p) : p.

BENEFITS
