1. What is the Stopwatch Drop Rate Formula?

The formula \( P = 1 - (1 - p)^k \) calculates the probability of getting at least one stopwatch drop in k attempts, where p is the drop probability per attempt.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the probability formula:

Where:

• \( p \) — Drop probability per attempt (dimensionless)
• \( k \) — Number of attempts (dimensionless)
• \( P \) — Probability of at least one drop

Explanation: The formula calculates the complement of the probability of getting no drops in all k attempts.

3. Importance of Drop Rate Calculation

Details: Understanding drop probabilities helps in planning resource allocation, estimating farming time, and making informed decisions about game mechanics.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the drop probability per attempt (0-1) and the number of attempts. Both values must be valid (0 ≤ p ≤ 1, k ≥ 1).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does this probability represent?
A: It represents the probability of getting at least one drop in k independent attempts.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact for independent events with constant probability.

Q3: Can this be used for other drop calculations?
A: Yes, this formula applies to any scenario with independent events and constant probability.

Q4: What if the drop probability changes?
A: This formula assumes constant probability. For variable probabilities, more complex calculations are needed.

Q5: How does increasing attempts affect the probability?
A: The probability increases with more attempts, approaching 1 (100%) as k increases.
