Convert 5 to 42 Odds to Probability

5 to 42 Odds means that there are 5 chances of one outcome and 42 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 5 A's and 42 B's in 5 to 42 Odds.

5 to 42 Odds can be written as a ratio of 5/42. 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 5 to 42 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(5/(5+42))*100 = 10.64%
(42/(5+42))*100 = 89.36%

Therefore, 5 to 42 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

10.64% Probability of A

89.36% Probability of B

So instead of saying 5 to 42 Odds, you could say that there is a 10.64% Probability.
