Understanding Probability

Probability is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. It's expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

Basic Probability

P(Event) = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Outcomes

Combinations

Used when order doesn't matter. Formula: C(n,r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!)

Permutations

Used when order matters. Formula: P(n,r) = n! / (n-r)!

Common Applications

Gaming and lottery calculations
Risk assessment in finance
Quality control in manufacturing
Statistical analysis and research
Sports betting and predictions
Medical diagnosis probability

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about probability calculations

For independent events, multiply their individual probabilities. For mutually exclusive events, add their probabilities. For dependent events, use conditional probability formulas.

Use combinations when order doesn't matter (like selecting team members). Use permutations when order matters (like arranging people in a line or assigning ranks).

No, probability values must always be between 0 and 1 (inclusive). A probability of 0 means the event is impossible, while 1 means it's certain to occur.

Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. It's calculated as P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B).

Our calculator uses standard mathematical formulas and provides highly accurate results. However, for complex statistical analysis or critical decisions, we recommend consulting with a statistician.

Common examples include weather forecasting (30% chance of rain), medical testing (probability of disease), insurance risk assessment, lottery odds, and quality control in manufacturing.

To convert probability to percentage, multiply by 100. For example, a probability of 0.25 equals 25%. This makes it easier to understand and communicate probability results.

The law of large numbers states that as the number of trials increases, the actual results will converge to the expected probability. This is why casinos always profit in the long run despite individual wins.
