Any Streak Calculator

Any streak means just that. ANY.

Say a fair coin where Heads and Tails probability of showing is exactly the same. 50%.

Two kinds of outcomes and their total probability = 100%.

That is what this calculator can provide accurate results for.

Another example. A standard six-sided Die (1d6) where all 6 faces have the

same equal probability of showing face up after a random roll.(1 chance in 6)

And the sum of all the probabilities = 100%.

Popular streak (run) questions and answers.

Q1 and Q2 questions have p(Heads) and p(Tails) = 1/2 (50%)

Q3 and Q4 questions have p(all faces) = 1/6 (16.67%)
