Convert 42 to 1 Odds to Probability

42 to 1 Odds means that there are 42 chances of one outcome and 1 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 42 A's and 1 B's in 42 to 1 Odds.

42 to 1 Odds can be written as a ratio of 42/1. 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 42 to 1 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(42/(42+1))*100 = 97.67%
(1/(42+1))*100 = 2.33%

Therefore, 42 to 1 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

97.67% Probability of A

2.33% Probability of B

So instead of saying 42 to 1 Odds, you could say that there is a 97.67% Probability.
