Determine Probability
For equally likely outcomes, divide favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
Formula: P(E) = favorable outcomes Γ· total equally likely outcomes
Preserve the order of the inputs and the notation used by the formula. Negative signs, powers, decimal places, and zero values can materially change a mathematical result.
Check a small example by hand and compare it with the calculator output. Substitution is especially useful for equations and algebraic results.
