The odds a person has the disease they were tested for is 98% or 98:2.

<h3>What is the difference between probability and odds?</h3>

Probability describes how likely is an event to happen by using a percentage from 0 to 100%. On the other hand, the odds focus on the rate between the specific outcome: other outcomes.

<h3>What are the odds in this situation:</h3>

In this case, the specific outcome is to have the disease after being tested, which occurs 98% of the time. This implies only the 2% tested do not have the disease. Now, this relationship can be expressed as:

98: 2
