Probability Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the probability of getting at least one success in multiple independent trials.
Purpose: It helps in statistical analysis, risk assessment, and probability modeling across various fields.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the complement of the probability of all trials failing.
Details: Understanding cumulative probabilities helps in decision making, experimental design, and risk evaluation.
Tips: Enter the probability per trial (0 to 1) and number of trials (positive integer). All values must be valid.
Q1: What does "at least one success" mean?
A: It means one or more successes in all trials (1, 2, ..., up to n successes).
Q2: Can I use percentages for probability?
A: Convert percentages to decimals (e.g., 25% = 0.25) before entering.
Q3: Does this assume independent trials?
A: Yes, the formula assumes each trial is independent with constant probability.
Q4: What if I want exactly one success?
A: Use the binomial formula: \( n \times p \times (1-p)^{n-1} \).
Q5: How accurate are the results?
A: Mathematically precise when inputs are accurate, though real-world factors may affect actual outcomes.
