ANSWER

[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]



EXPLANATION

We want to find an odds ratio from a given probability, which is


[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]


We subtract the numerator 1 from the denominator 4 to obtain


[tex]4- 1= 3[/tex]


The answer is the number of unfavorable outcomes. 

The Odds can then be expressed as

[tex]1 : 3[/tex]


The ratio of favourable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes.
