WILLs<br />

= Probability as decimal ratio to 1<br />

Total Possibilities.<br />

Odds = WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

Total Possibilities = 1<br />

– WILLs = .0045249<br />

WILLNOTs = .9954751<br />

WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

.9954751 : .0045249<br />

Reduce<br />

.9954751 / .0045249 : .0045249 / .0045249<br />
