Question

Find the odds of an event occurring, given the probability 1/16.

Answer 1

The odds of an event is defined as follows:

`\text{Odds\_event=}_{}\frac{P_{\text{event}}}{1-P_(event)}`

Therefore, in our problem:

`\text{Odds}=((1)/(16))/(1-(1)/(16))=((1)/(16))/((15)/(16))=(1)/(15)`

Thus, the answer is 1/15
