Probability calculator

P(A and B), P(A or B) and conditional probability for two events, plus combinations and permutations with or without repetition.

Inputs

Methodology

Conventions

  • Probabilities are between 0 and 1. For events that are neither independent nor exclusive, give P(A and B).
  • Combinations and permutations are counted exactly with whole-number arithmetic.

Formulas

Union
P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)
Conditional
P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}
Combinations
\binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n - r)!},\quad \text{with repetition } \binom{n + r - 1}{r}
Permutations
\frac{n!}{(n - r)!},\quad \text{with repetition } n^r
