How this calculation works

Divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of equally likely outcomes, then multiply by 100. The displayed result ranges from 0% to 100%; total outcomes must be positive and favorable outcomes cannot exceed the total.

Probability Calculator

Probability (%) = Favorable outcomes ÷ Total outcomes × 100
