How to use the Probability Calculator

  1. Enter the values (p(a) %, p(b) %, trials for "at least once").
  2. Read the result — it updates as you type.
  3. Check the breakdown rows to see exactly how it was calculated.

Worked example

P(A) %50
P(B) %30
Trials for "at least once"5
P(A and B)15%
P(A or B)65%
P(A xor B)50%
P(neither)35%
P(not A)50%
P(not B)70%
P(A at least once in 5)96.875%

Formula: For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B), P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A) × P(B), and P(at least once in n trials) = 1 − (1 − P)ⁿ.

How does the probability calculation work?

For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B), P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A) × P(B), and P(at least once in n trials) = 1 − (1 − P)ⁿ.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Toolbench runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone — there is nothing to install.
