ABSTRACT:
A combinational weighing or counting apparatus designed to increase the probability of selection of combinations. This combinational weighing or counting apparatus includes a plurality of weighing hoppers (6.sub.i), and a plurality of driving feeders (3.sub.i) for supplying articles (M) from an upstream side towards the corresponding weighing hoppers (6.sub.i) when the driving feeders (3.sub.i) are driven. In this combinational weighing or counting apparatus, the value at which the probability of occurrence of the combinational calculated weight or count, attains a maximum value is chosen to be greater than the target combined weight T.sub.M, but falling within an allowance of an lower limit T.sub.MIN to an upper limit T.sub.MAX of the target combined weight T.sub.M.
