Probability Calculator

Calculate common probabilities with live formulas, validation, visual interpretation, and research-friendly output.

Use counts when all outcomes are equally likely. Probability = favorable outcomes ÷ total outcomes.

The complement is the probability that event A does not occur: P(Aᶜ) = 1 − P(A).

decimal

For any two events: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B). The overlap cannot exceed either event.

For independent events, P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B).

Conditional probability uses the overlap relative to event B: P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) ÷ P(B), where P(B) > 0.

Binary Bayes model: update a prior P(A) after observing B using P(B|A) and P(B|Aᶜ).

For independent trials with constant success probability p, calculate at least one, none, all, and expected successes.

Convert probability p to odds in favor p:(1−p), odds against (1−p):p, and decimal odds 1/p.

How this is calculated
P = favorable / total = 3 / 10 = 0.3

The result is the share of equally likely outcomes that satisfy the event.

Built-in verification examples: 3/10 = 0.3; 0.4 + 0.5 − 0.2 = 0.7; 0.18/0.30 = 0.6; Bayes example = 0.1538461538.
