The probability of an event is 5/11 Find the odds in favor of the event occuring.

Given that probability of an event is 5/11. That means

Favorable number of events = 5

Total number of events = 11

Then unfavourable number of events = 11-5 = 6

Now question says to find the "odds in favor" of the event occuring.

Which is given by formula:

Odds in favor of an event = [ number of favorable outcomes ] / [ number of unfavorable outcomes ] = 5/6

Hence final answer is 5/6
