Species become extinct all the time. So the probability that one species or another will become extinct in the near future is one (meaning a certainty). But if you are asking whether a catastrophic event -- such as a huge asteroid striking the Earth and causing cataclysmic devastation -- will lead to mass extinction of all Earth's species, well, that's another matter altogether. According to NASA, the probability that the Earth will be struck by an undiscovered near-Earth object (NEO) that is bigger than one kilometer in diameter is one in 100,000 per year. The chances are much greater -- one in just 100 -- for objects the size of the one believed to have devastated a region of Siberia in 1908. (See provided link to the Tunguska event.) I am assuming that a 1-km asteroid would wreak sufficient havoc to destroy most, if not all, life on the planet.
What else can I help you with?
What is an event from the future called?
a future event
Is there any event with probability one but no occurrence?
Any known future event.
What's chances of an event occurring called?
It's called the probability of success.
What are the chances of something happening if they are 1 in 68?
If the chances of something happening are 1 in 68, it means there is a 1.47% likelihood of that event occurring. This probability indicates that out of 68 similar instances, you can expect the event to happen once on average. Conversely, there is a 98.53% chance that it will not happen in any given instance.
How do you express an event that will happen in the future when you use the time marker later?
To express an event that will happen in the future using the time marker "later," you can structure your sentence by indicating the future action followed by "later."
