Pergunta sobre Inglês (Reino Unido)
Hello, everyone!I have a question. : )
Today I met a this sentence below, then I cannot understand the grammar structure and the whole meaning of that sentence.(←I didn't know the adjetive and the adverb form of "grammar". Could you tell me, please?)
"the odds that an outcome will occur given a particular exposure"
Is "given" interchangeable with "giving" in this case? Does "occur" mean "cause" in this case? Could you please make some examples of that word? Plus could you please change that whole sentence into some other sayings?
I'm sorry for my many question. Thank you very much for your help!

Grammar
Grammatical
The odds that an outcome will occur given a particular exposure = what is the likelihood that the end result will happen in a certain set of circumstances.
Occur = happen
Given = give (like if someone gives you a present of the right set of circumstances)
If you pop a balloon, the noise that occurs often frightens people.
It is a given fact that Takaya likes burgers.
Given the fact that the child knows how to do long division, we can be sure he also knows his multiplication tables.

given and giving are two completely different things and you can't swap them
1)Given this resume, I think you should be fired
2) by giving me those results I can say that we are improving.
occur in this case means "happen"
1)If that occurs I guess we have to close for a while.
I searched a bit and it seems that "odds and exposure" are two words used in statistics so I guess they shouldn't be simplified.

You like “burgers” so much. Don’t forget to make them plural 😀

Hi, Kate! Good evening! : ) & Thank you for your great explanation above!
Btw I also don't see much such a grammatical form like "What is～.". I guess(←is this word appropriate? I used this word like to predict the thing you would mean. I think that "predict" will be used in another case though.) that it would mean "The thing which is ～." though.
Plus what does "given a particular exposure" mean in the sentence "what is the likelihood that the end result will happen in a certain set of circumstances."? And why? (>_<)
And I want to be used to that word "a given fact". So could you make mathmatical problem sentence and so on as example of that? Sorry!

@iwamoto4477 😀 good morning 😀
Yes, you can use guess like predict. It is probably closer in meaning to estimate or approximate.
“What is...” is only used In questions. So the most common place you will come across it, is on school tests. So, yes, it does mean “The thing which...”
“What is the name for a horse in Japanese?”
“What is the answer to this mathematical equation?”
“What is the main use for paracetamol?”
“Kate, what is that on your head? I’ve never seen a hat that looks like a chicken before!”
“Given a particular exposure, what is the likelihood that the end result will happen?”
Given a particular exposure = In a certain set of circumstances
Exposure = to look at things under a light.
The sentence is asking you to “look at the facts that have been presented to you in a certain set of circumstances...then to draw your conclusion from the likely outcomes”.
2a + 3b = 13
It is a given fact that a = 2, therefore we can conclude that b must = 3
2a + 3b = 13
If a = 2, then it must also be a given fact that b = 3.
Q.It is a given fact that the molecular structure of water is H2O, but if we were to add another oxygen atom, what is the chemical substance that results?
A. Hydrogen peroxide. H2O2

Good morning, Kate! Thank you! : )
I didn't find that you wrote"question", but I think that there's reason you didn't add "question mark".
Your example was very helpful! (^^)
Btw are you ok from corona virus? From today, the online lecture of uni of my younger brother started.(←natural?) He studies medical(=doctor) at university. It's sunny today!
Are theere cherry blossom in your town? What's the flower of spring in your town? : )

@iwamoto4477 I think that I’ve just been a little tired, and forgot to add the question mark.
I’m doing well, in corona land.
“From today, the online uni lectures for my younger brother have started. He studies medicine at university.”
Wattle is the most common spring flower. It is why we wear the colours green and gold for the olympics. If you toast their seeds and grind them you can add them to bread, or make a drink that tastes similar to coffee. It’s such a cheerful tree.
