Answer: 53
Explanation:
Odds is the ratio of favourable outcomes to non-favourable outcomes:
If P is the probability of an event occurring, then:
1P is the probability of the event not occurring.
The odds will then be:
P1P581(58)=5838=53
To make this clearer:
The probability of throwing a 6 with a standard die is 16
The odds of throwing a 6 are 15
P1P=161(16)=1656=15
