Enter the probability of an event p to compute the complementary probability P(Ac) = 1 - P(A), a basic probability operation.
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Complement probability | P(A') = 1 - P(A) | Kolmogorov AN, Foundations of the Theory of Probability (1933) |
| Normalization axiom | P(Omega) = 1 and P(A) >= 0 for every event | Kolmogorov AN, Foundations of the Theory of Probability (1933) |
| Mutual exclusivity | A and A' are disjoint and exhaustive, so P(A) + P(A') = 1 | Kolmogorov AN, Foundations of the Theory of Probability (1933) |
| At least one occurrence | For n independent trials with probability p: P(at least one) = 1 - (1 - p)^n | NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods §1.3.6.6 |
