The sportsmen/women become more motivated, which may increase the chance. But they'll probably lose anyway.
very low
It can be termed unlikely.
That depends a lot on the specific circumstances, of how you guess. For instance, if a test has true/false questions, the probability is 1/2; if it is a multiple-choice question with 4 options, the probability is 1/4; if there are 6 options, the probability is 1/6, etc.; if you have to calculate a number (and it is NOT a multiple choice question), the probability is rather low, indeed.
If you are talking about mass produced bottles then the probability is very low. There would certainly be some form of quality control in the system to ensure the items fall between the tolerances required.
the pay is really low, and its a competitive gig to get as well.
The probability of a mutation at a particular gene locus is low, and the probability of a mutation in the genome of a particular individual is high.
The probability of getting a low straight in a game of poker is approximately 0.39, or 1 in 256 hands.
very low
It can be termed unlikely.
That depends on many factors. For example, if you are a $1 bill, the probability is quite high, whereas if you are a human being, the probability is quite low.
it tumbles
The answer depends on whether aces are high or low. With aces low, the probability is 5/13 on a single random draw.
Yes you can, but the probability is low, such as choking on the seed.
Uncertainty about a situation can often indicate risk, which is the possibility of loss, damage, or any other undesirable event. Most people desire low risk, which would translate to a high probability of success, profit, or some form of gain.
High point in one's career where the probability of, or motivation to, progress is low.
In common usage, unlikely means a low probability of occurrence. But as a term in mathematics, an unlikely event is not rigorously defined as a "low number" is subjective. Certainly, in a comparative sense, i.e. event A is less likely to occur than event B, we can state that the probability of occurrence of A is less than B.
It would be a 100% probability or 1 on a scale of 0 to 1 (where 1 is a certainty). Some would argue though, that nothing can ever be 100% certain, e.g what happens if the world gets wiped out by a massive asteroid half way through the month, killing everyone. The chances are low, but there nonetheless...
