Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
Probability of ANumeric value. Zero or positive. Maximum: 1.0.4
Probability of BNumeric value. Zero or positive. Maximum: 1.0.3

Result for these sample inputs

0.12 probability

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B), if independent.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using probability of a = 0.4, probability of b = 0.3, the result is 0.12 probability. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
