It's unlikely to happen
An event that is unlikely to occur is often referred to as a "remote possibility" or "improbable event." In more casual terms, it might be called a "long shot." In some contexts, such events might also be described as "highly unlikely" or "rare."
Yes, a probability near 0 indicates that an event is highly unlikely to occur. Probability values range from 0 to 1, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means it is certain. Therefore, as the probability approaches 0, the likelihood of the event happening diminishes significantly.
It is a possible but unlikely event.
It is a probability of between 0.3 and 0.7
It is more LIKELY to have a likely event than a UNLIKELY event.

A likely event, mathematically, is more then 50% likely to happen. An unlikely event is less then 50% likely to happen.
The word unlikely means just that: it describes an event that probably won't happen. For example, winning the lottery, or flipping a coin ten times and getting only heads, or whales carrying out plots for world domination, are all unlikely.
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.
An improbable occurrence refers to an event that is unlikely or highly unlikely to happen based on existing circumstances or statistical probabilities. It suggests that the event is unexpected or rare due to factors that make it unlikely to occur.
One doesn't have *un* at the start.
Two events are equally unlikely if the probability that they do not happen is the same for each event. And, since the probability of an event happening and not happening must add to 1, equally unlikely events are also equally likely,

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.
