Understanding your result
These outputs describe the probability model and event definitions you entered. A probability is a number from 0 to 1; a probability density is not itself the probability of one exact continuous value.
Common mistakes
- Entering 25 instead of 0.25 for a probability, or assuming events are independent when the model requires that assumption.
- Confusing an exact-count probability with a cumulative probability, or replacement with sampling without replacement.
Check your calculation
- Check a zero/certain-event boundary and the stated support of the distribution against the worked example.
