Simple Probability
• Definition: Probability: the chance some event
will happen. It is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes.

Odds versus Probability
Chances of success
Chances of failure Odds of success =
The ratio for odds uses chances of success and chances of failure…not the total number of outcomes.
