Event Probability
Fill in the fields above — the result is computed on this page.
What do these numbers mean?
  • Probabilities must stay between 0 and 1.
  • Define events before entering numbers.

The result assumes the supplied conditional probabilities are correct; repeated-trial mode assumes independence.

How do I use this page?
  1. Enter inputs.
  2. Check the branches and formula.

What this page does not do: The result assumes the supplied conditional probabilities are correct; repeated-trial mode assumes independence.

Theory — what is Bayes' theorem?

Bayes' theorem updates the probability of an event based on new information, such as a test result. The calculator applies the multiplication rule and the complementary event, displaying every intermediate value in the calculation. Inputs must be entered as decimal values between 0 and 1, not as percentages. This makes it possible to see step by step how the initial assumptions translate into the resulting probability.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter percentages?
Use decimals: 25% is 0.25.
