Before we start, let's define a few terms.

 

Odds is the ratio of the probability that an event can occur to the probability that an event cannot occur. Here is the formula in algabraic notation, if it makes it easier to understand.

 

Odds=p1p

 

p = probability

 

Probability is the ratio of the ways an event suits a condition to the number of possible outcomes. 

 

p=# of events# of outcomes

 

p = probability

 

Knowing this, we can answer all the questions up to 11.

 

8) 

 

There are 3 primary colors in the colored cube, and this allows us to calculate the odds.

 

Odds=12112=1212=1:1

 

9) 

 

Let's calculate the probability of not rolling a blue or purple. If we wanted to roll a blue or purple, the probability would be 26=13. The probability of that event not occuring is 1p. Therefore, 113=3313=23. Now, let's determine the odds.

 

Odds=23123 Simplify the denominator
123=3323=13  
Odds=2313 Multiply by 33 to eliminate the ugly denominator.
Odds=2331=63=2:1  
   

 

10) 

 

There are 3 primary colors on the cube, which means that the probability is 36=12

 

11) The probability of an event not occuring is represented by 1p, so this means that 116 is the probability. Now, just simplify this.

 

116=6656=16
