Calculation:

Let the given event be E and let P(E) = x. 

Then, odds in favour of E = \(\rm \frac{P(E)}{1 - P(E)}\)

\(\rm \frac{P(E)}{1 - P(E)} = \frac{5}{7}\)

\(\rm \frac{x}{1 - x} = \frac{5}{7}\)

x = \(\rm \frac{5}{12}\)

Required probability = \(\rm \frac{5}{12}\)

The probability of the occurrence of the event is \(\rm \frac{5}{12}\)
