If it's an independent event then it's probability does not depend on preceding events. For example, if I flip a coin twice the probability that the coin will show 'heads' the second time is independent of what happened the first time; it's just 1/2.

If an event is unlikely to happen its probability is?
If the even is never going to take place, and it is for sure, then it's probability will be 0. For example, if the event is : A child being born with powers like Superman. For this event, the probability would be 0! But in practicality, if the event is unlikely to happen, it's probability is likely to be nearer to 0. Keeping in mind the difference between "unlikely to happen" and "never going to happen for sure". Because there is a possibility that the event that is unlikely to happen may just happen once in a thousand years. So in this case, the probability will be very very close to 0, but it will not be 0 exactly.
Why can't a probability be greater than 1?
Probability is the chance something is going to happen. It has to be DO/PO DO= desired outcome PO= probable outcome. The probability can not be 1 because it has to be a percent chance of out of a fraction, which are both smaller than 1.
Can independent events exist in reality?
Yes. Independent events can exist in reality. Dependent events means that one event has had an effect on the other. For instance, if we look at the probability of someone going to the shops, and the probability of them buying an apple, the latter is clearly dependent on the former. Independent events are simply events that don't have this connection. The probability of one does not influence or predict the probability of the other. For instance, if I studied the probability of you going to see a film on a particular day, and the probability of someone in China getting a hole in one in golf, these are very clearly independent events.
How are going to determine the probability of an event?
See the Basic Rules for Probability section in the related link.
A probability of 1 means an event is?
100% going to occur.
What is unlikely?
it means that it is probably not going to happen.
Likelihood that something will happen?
The likelihood that something will happen refers to the probability or chance of that event occurring. It is often quantified on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). The higher the likelihood, the greater the probability of the event occurring.
When an event in certain to occur What is its probability?
p = 1 For example in popular language: An event certain to occur is that the sun will rise each day. The probability of the sun rising is 100%. But, as you are well aware, it's not the sun rising but the earth turning and it's only going to happen for another 10 billion years.
Is the probability 1.2 nil possible?
Probabilities go from 0 to 1. This is a steady increase with 0.5 meaning 50% of "equally likely to happen as not." 0 probability means that it is impossible something will happen. 1 probability means it is definite something will happen. Therefore, you cannot have probability 1.2 as this is more than "definitely going to happen."
