Can you have 100 percent probability?

Probability can also be written as a percentage, which is a number from 0 to 100 percent. The probability of a certain event occurring depends on how many possible outcomes the event has. If an event has only one possible outcome, the probability for this outcome is always 1 (or 100 percent).

Which event has a probability of 100 \%?

Complementary events
Disjoint events: events that don’t have any outcomes in common. Complementary events: probability that has a sum of 100\%. Either/Or events are complementary events.

What has a 0\% chance of happening?

A probability of 0 means that the event will not happen. For example, if the chance of being involved in a road traffic accident was 0 this would mean it would never happen. You would be perfectly safe. A probability of 1 means that the event will happen.

Is chance and probability the same?

Chance is the occurrence of events in the absence of any obvious intention or cause. It is, simply, the possibility of something happening. Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favourable cases to the whole number of cases possible.

What is the difference between a 100\% chance and 0\% chance?

If speaking in absolutes: A 100\% chance is an absolute certainty. A 0\% chance is an absolute impossibility. Since we don’t understand the absolutes of time, existence, or physics, nothing can be proven absolutely 100\%.

What are the odds of anything actually happening?

Because of the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, every physical event that is theoretically possible has a nonzero chance of actually happening. For most things—such as the Moon spontaneously turning into a giant marshmallow—the odds are so low as to be effectively zero.

What are the chances of passing on a genetic disorder?

It is important to note that the chance of passing on a genetic condition applies equally to each pregnancy. For example, if a couple has a child with an autosomal recessive disorder, the chance of having another child with the disorder is still 25 percent (or 1 in 4).

What is the probability of a certain event occurring?

The probability of a certain event occurring depends on how many possible outcomes the event has. If an event has only one possible outcome, the probability for this outcome is always 1 (or 100 percent). If there is more than one possible outcome, however, this changes.
