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.
No. The probability of an outcome (or event) is always a number between 0 and 1.
An outcome is what actually happens, while the probability of that outcome is how likely that particular thing is to happen. Say I was flipping a coin. The probability of the outcome of heads is 1/2 because there are 2 possible outcomes and heads is only 1 of them. Then when I flip the coin, it lands on tails. The outcome is tails.
Whenever there is only one possible outcome of an experiment, the probability of this outcome is 1, which you can also write as 100%.
no
No. The probability of any event must, by definition, be in the interval [0, 1].

It depends on the particular problem. An outcome of 1, for example, is one of the outcomes of rolling a standard six-sided die.A probability of 1, however, which is what the question might mean, means that the outcome is certain to occur, but that outcome is not necessarily 1. This is one of the distinctions between probability and outcome - they are not the same thing.

Each outcome is equally likely and so the probability of each outcome is 1/36.
When an event is repeated, the probability of it occurring is squared. For instance, if an outcome had the probability of 1/4, then the outcome happening twice would have a probability of 1/16. Note, however, that this does not mean that the second event has different probabilities. That particular outcome will always be 1/4, regardless of anything that happened before it.
That's the same as the total probability (1) minus the probability of seven heads. So: 1 - (1/2)7 = 127/128
Whenever there is only one possible outcome of an experiment, the probability of this outcome is 1, which you can also write as 100%.
The probability is 1/2 because the second outcome has no affect on the first outcome.
