This calculator computes the probability of drawing 6 specific items in sequence without replacement from a total population. It's useful for statistical analysis, gaming probabilities, and quality control scenarios.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the product of probabilities for each sequential draw, accounting for the decreasing pool size after each selection.
Details: Accurate probability calculation without replacement is essential for statistical modeling, risk assessment, game theory, and quality control processes where sequential selection affects outcomes.
Tips: Enter the total number of items and the number of favorable items for each of the 6 draws. All values must be positive integers, with total items ≥ 6.
Q1: What does "without replacement" mean?
A: It means items are not returned to the pool after being selected, changing the probability for subsequent draws.
Q2: When should I use this calculator?
A: Use it when you need to calculate the probability of drawing a specific sequence of 6 items from a finite population without replacement.
Q3: What if I have more than 6 draws?
A: This calculator is specifically designed for 6 sequential draws. For different numbers of draws, you would need a different formula.
Q4: Can this be used for dependent events?
A: Yes, this calculation specifically handles dependent events where the probability changes with each draw.
Q5: What are common applications of this calculation?
A: Common applications include card game probabilities, quality control sampling, genetic inheritance calculations, and statistical research.
