Formula & Methodology

The Chebyshev Lower Bound is calculated using the formula:

1 – (1 + 2/n)^(-1)

Where:

• n is the number of trials.
• p is the probability of success.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Coin Flips

If you flip a fair coin 10 times, the probability of getting at least 7 heads is approximately 0.00098, or 0.098%.

Example 2: Dice Rolls

If you roll a fair six-sided die 20 times, the probability of rolling at least 15 sixes is approximately 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
