Convert 5 to 99 Odds to Probability

5 to 99 Odds means that there are 5 chances of one outcome and 99 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 5 A's and 99 B's in 5 to 99 Odds.

5 to 99 Odds can be written as a ratio of 5/99. 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 99 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(5/(5+99))*100 = 4.81%
(99/(5+99))*100 = 95.19%

Therefore, 5 to 99 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

4.81% Probability of A

95.19% Probability of B

So instead of saying 5 to 99 Odds, you could say that there is a 4.81% Probability.
