The odds in favor of the occurrence of an event are
8 : 13. Find the probability that the event will occur.
We know that,
If odds in favor of the occurrence an event are a:b, then the probability of an event to occur is , which indirectly came from
Probability of the occurrence of an event
Where, Total no.of desired outcomes = a, and total no.of outcomes = a+b
Given a = 8, b= 13
The probability that the event occurs
Conclusion: Probability that the event occurs is
