Suppose the probability of being picked first in your class is 0.05. The odds of being picked first expressed in form of a: b is 1 : 19.

A probability is a number that represents the possibility or chance that a specific event will occur.

{\mathbf{\text{The probability of an event} = \dfrac{\text{number of desired outcome}}{\text{total number of possible outcome}}}

From the given information;

  • Let assume the total number of people in the class is whole = 1

∴

The odds of being picked first can be computed as:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{0.05}{1-0.05}}

\mathbf{=\dfrac{0.05}{0.95}}

\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{19}}

= 1 : 19

Therefore, the odds of being picked first in terms of a: b is 1 : 19
