The probability that the event would occur is 0.125

How to determine the probability?

The odds against is given as:

Odds against = 7 : 1

The probability that the event would occur is then calculated as:

P = 1/(1 + 7)

Evaluate the sum

P = 1/8

Evaluate the quotient

P = 0.125

Hence, the probability that the event would occur is 0.125
