What is Probability Calculator?
Computes union, intersection, and complementary probabilities for random events based on Kolmogorov probability axioms.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter decimal probability of event A and B (0 to 1).
- Select whether events are independent or mutually exclusive.
- Review joint and disjunctive probabilities.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Independent events with P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.30.
- Intersection P(A and B) = 0.40 * 0.30 = 0.12 (12%).
- Union P(A or B) = 0.40 + 0.30 - 0.12 = 0.58 (58%).
Result: 12.0% (P of both occurring)
Frequently Asked Questions
What are mutually exclusive events?
Events that cannot happen simultaneously (e.g. flipping heads and tails on a single coin toss). P(A and B) is always 0.
