I am trying really hard as a maths "newbie", but I somehow don't get the Status Chance per pellet working.

Status Chance per Pellet = 1 − (1 − Status Chance)(1 ÷ Pellet Count) 

It either tell me "Error: not true" if I try to type in the whole calculation at once or I'm getting to really wrong results like ~1.53 and stuff when trying the example with Board Prime, using "30" as Status Chance and "8" as Pellet Count. I only got results anyway when I tried to to the formula in parts, like 1/8 first and then 1+Status Chance and stuff. Maybe it's only the minus before the bracket but I really don't know what to do.

I used the web2.0 calc online and the standard calculator from windows in the "scientific" mode.

May someone explain to me what's happening?
