Very close to 1.
Over the next 4.5 billion years that the earth is expected to remain in existence, such an event is almost certain.

How many minutes until new years?
It's midnight wherever you are. On East coast US for example, there are 17 mins remaining roughly.
What an event is certain to occur what us its probability?
Exactly 1.
Where else can probability be used?
"where else" implies that you already have some situations in mind. But you have chosen not to share that information. It is impossible for us to be sure that situations that we suggest in which probability may be used are not already on your list.
What is the probability that you roll a 5 and a 2?
We assume a 6 sided fair die. Now, note that the probability of rolling any number is independent of the probability of the outcome on the next role of the die. In probability terms we say the two events are independent this implies that is we look at the probability of A and the probability of B the probability of A and B is P(A)xP(B) Since we are look at the probability of a 5 and there are 6 possible outcomes, the probability of a 5 is 1/6 and a similar argument tells us the probability of a 2 is 1/6. Now, since they are independent, the probability of a 5 AND a 2 is 1/6 x 1/6=1/36 If you want to consider dice with different shapes and fewer than 6 numbers, the answer will change. I have considered only a 6 sided fair die since if one understands how this works, one can generalize to other scenarios. The commonly used die is called a cubic polyhedron. Dice come as many different polyhedra and these make for interesting probability questions.
The average number of days school is closed due to snow during the winter in a certain city in the eastern part of US is 4.what is the probability that the school in this city will close?
The probability of the school in this city being closed is the same as the probability of Iceland being covered in a cloud of ash to the extent of Airplanes being cancelled.....so yea, pretty good :D
Why would the west coast of the US get more tsunami than the east coast?
There is a lot more tectonic plate movement in the Pacific ocean than the Atlantic, it is more volcanic, and very little to stop the Tsunami before it reaches the coast.
Which is farther east the east coast of the US or the east coast of South America?
The east coast of South America
Has a tsunami ever hit the east cost of the united states?
There is a theory, that in the event of an eruption of the volcano cumbre vieja on the Canary Island of La Palma, about half of that island will break off and slide into sea. This would then produce a giant tsunami, which can reach heights of hundreds of meters, and would travel across the Atlantic ocean to strike the east coast of the US.
Is the east coast of the US farther east than the East Coast of South America?
the east coast of south america
Are the Appalachian mountains closer to the east coast or the west coast of the US?
East Coast
The chesapeake bay is on which coast east or west?
The east coast of the US
What is the danger to US East coastal cities with concern to a Canary Islands' volcano eruption causing a tsunami?
The Canary Island of Lanzarote has a volcano which it said to be on the precipice of falling in to the sea, should this erupt and happen it would cause a massive Tsunami which would cross the Atlantic Basin and likely reach the US East coast.
what coast is farther east the east coast of the US or east coast of south America?
south America is closer
Is Detroit on the east coast?
Detroit is not on the East Coast of the US, but it is in Eastern Time.
Is Virginia on the east side of the US?
Yes, part of the eastern edge of the State of Virginia lies on the east coast of the US.
Is Alaska US on the east or west coast?
west coast
Which ocean forms US east coast and our west coast?
The Atlantic Ocean is on the east coast of the US. We do not know what country is 'yours' so cannot say which forms your west coast.
