Probability:
Odds:


Solution
There are 2 pieces that are highlighted out of 4 pieces. Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen piece is highlighted is 1/2.

Since odds is a ratio of the event happening to the event not happening, we can simply take a ratio of the number of pieces unhighlighted to the number of pieces highlighted. In this case that would be 2:2 which simplifies to 1:1.

Solution
There is 1 piece that is highlighted out of 3 pieces. Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen piece is highlighted is 1/3.

Since odds is a ratio of the event happening to the event not happening, we can simply take a ratio of the number of pieces unhighlighted to the number of pieces highlighted. In this case that would be 2:1.


Complexity=6

Solution
There are 4 pieces that are highlighted out of 6 pieces. Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen piece is highlighted is 2/3.

Since odds is a ratio of the event happening to the event not happening, we can simply take a ratio of the number of pieces unhighlighted to the number of pieces highlighted. In this case that would be 2:4 which simplifies to 1:2.
