Convert 5 to 87 Odds to Probability

5 to 87 Odds means that there are 5 chances of one outcome and 87 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 5 A's and 87 B's in 5 to 87 Odds.

5 to 87 Odds can be written as a ratio of 5/87. 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 87 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(5/(5+87))*100 = 5.43%
(87/(5+87))*100 = 94.57%

Therefore, 5 to 87 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

5.43% Probability of A

94.57% Probability of B

So instead of saying 5 to 87 Odds, you could say that there is a 5.43% Probability.
