Convert 5 to 1 Odds to Probability

5 to 1 Odds means that there are 5 chances of one outcome and 1 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 5 A's and 1 B's in 5 to 1 Odds.

5 to 1 Odds can be written as a ratio of 5/1. 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 5 to 1 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(5/(5+1))*100 = 83.33%
(1/(5+1))*100 = 16.67%

Therefore, 5 to 1 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

83.33% Probability of A

16.67% Probability of B

So instead of saying 5 to 1 Odds, you could say that there is a 83.33% Probability.
