📚 FAQs
Q: What is probability and how is it calculated?
A: Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring, calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. The result ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
Q: Can favorable outcomes be greater than total outcomes?
A: No, favorable outcomes cannot exceed total outcomes. The calculator will show an error if you enter invalid values. Favorable outcomes must always be less than or equal to total outcomes.
Q: What's the difference between decimal and percentage probability?
A: Decimal probability ranges from 0 to 1, while percentage probability ranges from 0% to 100%. They represent the same value: multiply decimal by 100 to get percentage (e.g., 0.25 = 25%).
Q: How do I interpret a probability of 0.3?
A: A probability of 0.3 (or 30%) means the event has a 30% chance of occurring. Out of 10 similar situations, you'd expect the event to happen about 3 times.
Q: Can I use this calculator for complex probability problems?
A: This calculator is designed for simple, single-event probabilities. For complex problems involving multiple events, conditional probability, or combinations, you may need specialized tools or manual calculations.
Q: Is there a limit to the numbers I can enter?
A: While there's no strict limit, very large numbers may affect precision. The calculator works best with reasonable values. Both inputs must be positive integers, with favorable outcomes ≤ total outcomes.
