The inputs above will be hidden when the program finally gets launched. Currently, I am not hiding them even when you close the calculator. The purpose of the inputs is to help in debugging. This allows you to enter simple code on the calculator screen but the program translates the input to javascript math. Give it a try and see if you notice any obvious problems or have suggestions for improvements.

Accuracy Disclaimer

The javascript math object methods used for this calculator are not accurate for very large or very small numbers. In particular, the trigonometric functions may yield very small answers that should actually be zero or very large answers that should be infinite. This typically occurs at 90° or pi/2 intervals.

DO NOT USE WHERE HIGH PRECISION IS REQUIRED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Probability & Odds

The probability of success P(s)and the probability
of failure P(f) are defined as follows:

P(s) = s/(s+f) P(f) = f/(s+f)

Round decimal answers to the nearest thousandth.

P(white) =

If a second marble is selected without putting the first marble back in the bag, what is the probability that both the first and the second marble would be white?

P(2 wht) =

What are the odds that the first two marbles picked are white?.
