Calculate probabilities for single events, multiple events (AND/OR), conditional probability, and binomial distributions.
| k | P(X=k) | P(X≤k) |

Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain).
| Rule | Formula |
|---|---|
| Complement | P(A') = 1 − P(A) |
| Addition (general) | P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B) |
| Addition (mutually exclusive) | P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) |
| Multiplication (independent) | P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B) |
| Conditional | P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) |
| Bayes' Theorem | P(A|B) = P(B|A)×P(A) / P(B) |
P(X=k) = C(n,k) × pᵏ × (1−p)ⁿ⁻ᵏ, where C(n,k) = n! / (k!(n−k)!) is the binomial coefficient. Used when there are n independent trials, each with probability p of success.
