FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is probability calculated?

Probability = Favorable Outcomes ÷ Total Possible Outcomes.

What does 'independent events' mean?

It means the outcome of one event has no effect on the probability of the other, like flipping two separate coins.

How do I calculate 'both events happen'?

Multiply the individual probabilities of independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).

How do I calculate 'either event happens'?

For independent events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).

Can probability be negative?

No, probability is always between 0 and 1 (or 0% and 100%).

What does a probability of 1 mean?

It means the event is certain to happen.

What does a probability of 0 mean?

It means the event is impossible.

Does this work for dependent events?

No, this calculator assumes independence - dependent events require conditional probability, which isn't calculated here.

Is my data saved?

No, calculations happen entirely in your browser.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
