Common probability scenarios and their calculations for better understanding
Event | Favorable | Total | Probability |
---|---|---|---|
Rolling a 6 on a die | 1 | 6 | 16.67% |

Common questions about probability calculations and statistical analysis
Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. A probability of 0 means the event will never occur, while 1 means it will always occur.
Probability = Favorable Outcomes / Total Possible Outcomes. For example, the probability of rolling a 6 on a standard die is 1/6 or approximately 16.67%.
Probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes. Odds are the ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes. For example, a 25% probability equals odds of 1:3.
Complementary probability is the probability that an event will NOT occur. It equals 1 minus the probability of the event occurring. If P(A) = 0.3, then P(not A) = 0.7.
No, probability cannot be greater than 1 (or 100%). If your calculation gives a result greater than 1, check that your favorable outcomes don't exceed total outcomes.
