Upper and lower estimates are obtained for probabilities wherein at least r from n events occur. The inequalities may turn to equalities. Similar inequalities are obtained for conditional probabilities with respect to a σ-field of events. Taking expectations from both parts of the specified inequalities, one can refine the estimates for the considered unconditional probabilities.
