Convert 3 to 17 Odds to Probability

3 to 17 Odds means that there are 3 chances of one outcome and 17 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 3 A's and 17 B's in 3 to 17 Odds.

3 to 17 Odds can be written as a ratio of 3/17. 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 3 to 17 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(3/(3+17))*100 = 15.00%
(17/(3+17))*100 = 85.00%

Therefore, 3 to 17 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

15.00% Probability of A

85.00% Probability of B

So instead of saying 3 to 17 Odds, you could say that there is a 15.00% Probability.
