There are 8 different places the arrow can land.  5 yellow, 2 red, 1 blue.  So the odds that the arrow does not land on yellow (meaning the arrow landing on red or blue) would be (red + blue)/total.  So the odds are 3/8

anonymous · Answer

Odds are different than probability.

anonymous · Answer

The probability that it does not land on yellow is 3/8.

The odds are $$\large \frac{P}{1-P} = \frac{\ \frac{3}{8}\ }{\ \frac{5}{8}\ } = \frac{3}{5}$$
