Answer 1

To convert the probability of an event into odds, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Odds} = \frac{\text{Probability}}{1 - \text{Probability}}
\]

Given that the probability of the event is \( \frac{2}{9} \):

1. Calculate \( 1 - \text{Probability} \):
\[
1 - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{9}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{7}{9}
\]

2. Now, substitute the values into the odds formula:
\[
\text{Odds} = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{7}{9}} = \frac{2}{7}
\]

Thus, the odds of the event are \( 2 : 7 \).

In the responses provided, this corresponds to:

**2 7.**
