Convert 2 to 40 Odds to Probability

2 to 40 Odds means that there are 2 chances of one outcome and 40 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 2 A's and 40 B's in 2 to 40 Odds.

2 to 40 Odds can be written as a ratio of 2/40. 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 2 to 40 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(2/(2+40))*100 = 4.76%
(40/(2+40))*100 = 95.24%

Therefore, 2 to 40 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

4.76% Probability of A

95.24% Probability of B

So instead of saying 2 to 40 Odds, you could say that there is a 4.76% Probability.
