Confidence limits of expected odds


I have two proportions and confidence intervals for each of them. Now the question wants me to convert these to odds.

What does this mean? I sort of understand converting a proportion to odds p/(1-p) but how does one convert an interval into odds?

It just a different notation. Convert the endpoints of the intervals to odds.
