Frequently Asked Questions

What is Probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).

How do I convert Probability to Odds?

If Probability is P, Odds = P : (1-P). For example, if P=0.25, Odds are 0.25 : 0.75, which simplifies to 1:3.

Can probability be greater than 1?

No. Probability represents a portion of the total possibilities, so it is always between 0 and 1 (inclusive).

How do I calculate probability of A AND B?

If independent: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B). If dependent: P(A) × P(B|A).
