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.

What does equally unlikely mean in probability?

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,


What nearer a probability is to1the less likely the event is to happen?

This statement is actually incorrect. A probability closer to 1 indicates that an event is very likely to occur, while a probability closer to 0 signifies that it is unlikely to happen. For example, a probability of 0.9 means there is a 90% chance of the event occurring, making it quite probable. Conversely, a probability of 0.1 suggests only a 10% chance, indicating it is unlikely to happen.


What is the definition of or in a probability?

My answer for probability Probability is the chance that something will happen - how likely it is that some event will happen.
