Yes. Each repeat of the trial is likely to alter the probability.
For any particular trial, the total probability is 1.
It depends on the trial, and is normally denoted by p.
The answer depends on what the experiment or trial is!
There are two main ways: One is to calculate the theoretical probability. You will need to develop a model for the experiment and then use the laws of science and mathematics to determine the probability of the event (subject to the model's assumptions). A major alternative is the empirical or experimental method. This requires performing the trial many times. The probability of the event is estimated by the proportion of the total number of trials which result in the outcome of interest occurring.
To find the experimental probability of an event you carry out an experiment or trial a very large number of times. The experimental probability is the proportion of these in which the event occurs.

The term "theoretical probability" is used in contrast to the term "experimental probability" to describe what the result of some trial or event should be based on math, versus what it actually is, based on running a simulation or actually performing the task. For example, the theoretical probability that a single standard coin flip results in heads is 1/2. The experimental probability in a single flip would be 1 if it returned heads, or 0 if it returned tails, since the experimental probability only counts what actually happened.
The experimental probability of a number cube that lands on 5 four times in a twenty toss trial is Pexp(5) = 4/20 = 1/5 = 0.20 = 20%
You can find a 'theoretical probability' or a 'mathematical probability' witha pencil and paper. But the only way to find an experimental probabilityis to do the experiment.(Also, before you do the experiment, you really need to define the 'successfuloutcome' a little more clearly. Like, what does "head and one tails" mean, howmany coins are being flipped for each trial, and how many trials will there be ? )
The symbol for probability of success in a binomial trial is the letter p. It is the symbol used for probability in all statistical testing.
For any particular trial, the total probability is 1.
