How do I find exp? It is used in odds and probability

log odds = Z

odds = exp(Z)

prob = exp(Z) / (1+exp(Z) )

Example given

Probability of extremely conservative male (no religion) favoring the death penalty:

log odds = constant + (B1)(age = 0) + (B2)(polviews = 7) + (B3)(reborn = 0) + (B4)(sex = 1) + (B5)(religion1=0) + (B6)(religion2=0) + (B7)(religion3=0) + (B8)(religion4=1)

log odds = -0.865 + (7*0.339) +0.342 - 0.226 = -0.865 + 1.356 + 0.342 - 0.226 = 1.624

odds = exp(1.624) = 5.073

prob = 5.073/(1+5.073) = 83.5%
