Convert 17 to 42 Odds to Probability

17 to 42 Odds means that there are 17 chances of one outcome and 42 chances of a different outcome.

17 to 42 Odds can be written as a ratio of 17/42. 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 17 to 42 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(17/(17+42))*100 = 28.81%
(42/(17+42))*100 = 71.19%

Therefore, 17 to 42 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

28.81% Probability of A

71.19% Probability of B
