We have defined and have calculated the two-body and three-body spin-correlative probabilities to study spin correlations. Condensates of spin-2 atoms are chosen as examples; however, the underlying concept is general. These probabilities can directly relate to the experimental data. Therefore, they can be used to discriminate the spin structures and to clarify the interactions of various systems.
