    The event of rolling a fair die and getting 2 or 4 or 5 or 3 has 4 possible outcomes. Either one can get 2 or 4 or 5 or 3

    Number of possible ways of getting favorable outcome = 4

    Now remaining outcomes which are not included into event are getting 1 or 6. There are 2 outcomes.

    Number of possible ways of getting unfavorable outcome = 2

    Odds for the event = Number of ways getting favorable outcome / Number of ways getting unfavorable outcome

    Odds for given event = 4 / 2 = 2/1

    Odds against eventSo the odds for event of rolling a fair die and getting 2 or 4 or 5 or 3 is 2:1

    Odds against event = Number of ways of getting unfavorable event / Number of ways of getting favorable event

    = 2/4

    =1/2

    So the odds against event of rolling a fair die and getting 2 or 4 or 5 or 3 is 1:2
