Quick Start

  1. Visit HeronTool website and locate the "Probability Calculator" tool.
  2. Select event type: independent events (e.g., rolling dice) or mutually exclusive events (e.g., lottery winning).
  3. Enter the number of events and each event's probability (as a decimal between 0 and 1 or percentage).
  4. Click "Calculate" – the tool displays the probability of all events occurring (independent) or any event occurring (mutually exclusive).

Advanced Tips

  • For multiple independent events, ensure each probability is multiplied correctly; the tool automatically handles decimals and percentages.
  • Use the "Add Event" button to increase the number of events, up to 10.
  • To calculate conditional probability, first use the Probability Calculator to get the joint probability, then divide by the known conditional probability (manual calculation required).

FAQ

Q: Can I input probabilities as percentages?
A: Yes, the tool accepts inputs like "50%" or "0.5" and converts automatically.

Q: What does the result mean for mutually exclusive events?
A: It is the probability that at least one event occurs – the sum of all probabilities (if events are exhaustive, the result is 1).

Q: Does the tool support continuous events?
A: Currently it only supports discrete events; continuous probabilities require other statistical tools.
