Probability
There are certain events that have 100% chances of occurrence, for example, a graduate in Mathematics can solve basic probability questions. And, there are certain events that have 0% chances of occurrence, for example, you can fly like airplane. Nothing can be more than 100%, and nothing can be less than 0% in these cases.
We say,
100% chances: Probability = 1
0% chances: Probability = 0
So, a probability is always between 0 and 1, inclusive.
Furthermore, there are events which are more likely to occur than others, for example, chance of a head in tossing a coin is more likely than chance of a six in rolling a dice. The aim of probability is to give numbers to these chances.
