Probability Calculator
The Probability Calculator is a handy tool for calculating the likelihood of an event occurring, either individually or in combination with other events. It’s useful for students, statisticians, and anyone dealing with probability in fields such as data science, finance, and research.
What is Probability?
Probability measures the chance or likelihood that an event will occur, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). Probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. For example, if you want to find the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die, the probability is 1/6.
How to Use the Probability Calculator
This calculator can determine probabilities for single events, combined events, and conditional events. Below, you’ll find fields to input the relevant numbers for calculating probabilities. Simply fill in the fields and click the button to get your results!

Benefits of Using the Probability Calculator
- Accuracy: Provides accurate results quickly, saving time on complex calculations.
- Convenience: An easy-to-use tool that requires only a few inputs to get results.
- Versatility: Useful for a variety of applications, including single event probabilities, combined event probabilities, and conditional probabilities.
Types of Probability Calculations
Single Event Probability
This is the probability of a single outcome occurring. Use the formula: P(A) = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Outcomes
Combined Event Probability
This refers to the probability of multiple events occurring in conjunction (e.g., flipping two coins and both landing on heads). For independent events, use the formula: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
Conditional Probability
Conditional probability calculates the likelihood of one event given that another event has occurred. The formula is: P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B).
