How to use this tool
- Use the top card to compute nCr combinations and nPr permutations from integers n and r.
- Enter n, p, and k in the binomial panel to compute binomial probabilities.
- Interpret P(X = k), P(X <= k), and P(X >= k) in the context of your probability question.
Binomial probability calculator for quick checks
- Avoid manual binomial coefficient calculations when checking exam answers.
- Use nCr as a combinations calculator and nPr as a permutations calculator.
- See exact, cumulative, and at-least probabilities for the binomial distribution.
What this binomial calculator assumes
- Trials are independent with a constant probability of success p.
- The random variable X counts the number of successes in n trials.
- Probabilities are computed directly from the binomial formula with combinations nCr.
FAQ
- What is the difference between combinations (nCr) and permutations (nPr)?
- Combinations nCr count selections where order does not matter. Permutations nPr count ordered arrangements of r items from n.
- Can I enter percentages for p instead of decimals?
- Enter p as a decimal between 0 and 1 (for example, 0.3 instead of 30%). This keeps the binomial formula consistent.
- Why do very extreme probabilities show as 0?
- For large n or very small probabilities, rounding to 6 decimal places may show tiny probabilities as 0. The underlying calculation still uses full floating-point precision.
