Convert 16 to 42 Odds to Probability

16 to 42 Odds means that there are 16 chances of one outcome and 42 chances of a different outcome.

16 to 42 Odds can be written as a ratio of 16/42. Instead of a ratio, Probability shows the percent chance of the outcomes A and B.

The two formulas to convert Odds to Probabilities are as follows

(A/(A+B))*100 = A%
(B/(A+B))*100 = B%

When we plug the 16 to 42 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(16/(16+42))*100 = 27.59%
(42/(16+42))*100 = 72.41%

Therefore, 16 to 42 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

27.59% Probability of A

72.41% Probability of B
