Hello!
I want to create a Roblox probability calculator. You enter the probability in % and then it says what is the answer YES or NO Can you help me to make it? I tried to use math.random() but it didn’t work well.

this is the script I made

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local percent = math.random(script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value,100)
	if percent == 100 then
		script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Yes"
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "No"
	end
end)

here is a screen shot of the game:

You can get the probability in % then convert it to 0 - 1, then do math.random(), if the result is higher than the specified number then it’s a YES, if it’s lower then it’s a NO
For example:

> Input 30%
> Convert it to 0.3
> Do math.random(), returns 0.626
> Return YES
> Do math.random() again, returns 0.215
> Return NO

U didnt explain the problem really well tbh, but anyways this is how I imagine ur problem: for example if I write in 50% then ther is a 50% chance of printing yes and 50% printing no.
So thats how u do it:

local chance = 70
local randomNum = math.random(1, 100)
if randomNum <= chance then
   print("yes")
else
   print("no")
