What does the probability of one mean?
A probability of one means that the outcome will definitely occur.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake - a probability of zero means that the outcome will definitely not occur. Probability always lies between zero and one, inclusive.
What is the event of one outcome happening and that outcome not happening?
It is an impossible event - which has probability zero.
Is it true that probability predict the precise outcome of an individual event?
False. Probability only predicts the outcome. It does not assure the outcome.
Can the probability of an outcome be more than 1?
No, the probability of an outcome can't be more than 1.
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.
