| probability | The chance that a particular outcome will occur measured as a ratio of the total possible outcomes. P = [favorable outcomes]/[possible outcomes]. |
| unlikely | The outcome will probably NOT happen (probability between 0 and 0.5). |
| likelihood | The chance that a particular outcome will occur [impossible, unlikely, likely, certain]. |
| event | A situation involving chance that has more than one possible outcome. |
| experiment | A test to determine the likelihood of a specific outcome of an event. |
| outcome | Any one of the possible results of an event. |
| likely | The outcome will probably happen (probability between 0.5 and 1.0). |
