The laws of probability predict what is likely to occur, not necessarily what will occur.

If the event will definitely occur, then its probability is 1.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake - if the event will definitely not occur, then its probability is 0. All probabilities lie between 0 and 1, inclusive.
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
These events are complementary. Let P(A) = probability event will occur. Then the probability it will not occur is: 1 - P(A).
An event that will definitely happen is an event with 100% probability.
Probability is a measure of the expectation that an event will occur or a statement is true. Probabilities are given a value between 0 (will not occur) and 1 (will occur).[1] The higher the probability of an event, the more certain we are that the event will occur.
