Are there any resources I can use to learn how to calculate probability?

Sure! Are you planning to use probability in a game or simulation? Are you interested in what’s called “physical” probability, or are you interested in abstract probability in abstract mathematics?

Abstract. But what exactly is physical probability?
user
Physical probability is the idea that all events in the universe are constantly occurring and that we need to figure out the relative likelihood of them happening as a function of time. This probability has some physical consequences in the real world, so if you’re interested in that, you’re probably interested in a math class called “Statistics”. Otherwise, you might look at something called “mathematical logic” or “abstract logic”.

Okay, but I don't want to take a class. I just want a few resources to learn statistics, for example, the chances of seeing at least one head if a coin is flipped twice. Stuff like that.
