Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of an event is given by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes. Here, if the odds of rain are 1 to 8, it means there is 1 favorable outcome (rain) for every 8 unfavorable outcomes (no rain), making a total of 9 outcomes. Therefore, the probability of rain is $\frac{1}{9}$.
