No, but probably close.
The laws of probability predict what is likely to occur, not necessarily what will occur.
"Probability" is not something that occurs in the future. It's the numerical likelihood of something happening in the future. You don't predict the probability. You calculate it.
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
These events are complementary. Let P(A) = probability event will occur. Then the probability it will not occur is: 1 - P(A).
The probability that an event will not occur is calculated by subtracting the probability of the event occurring from 1. Given that the probability of the event occurring is 0.2, the probability that it will not occur is 1 - 0.2 = 0.8. Thus, there is an 80% chance that the event will not occur.

Probability can be used to predict possible genotypes in offspring by using a Punnett Square. Source: The boringest and laziest science teacher: Mrs. Melissa Polimeni of Orchard Valley Middle School -AshaParekh44
No; if it is certain not to occur the probability is 0.
Theoretical probability is what should occur (what you think is going to occur) and experimental probability is what really occurs when you conduct an experiment.
an impossible event has a probability of 0, it will never occur a certain event has a probability of 1, it will always occur
the probability a certain event will occur :-)
