Probability Line
The probability of an event occurring ranges from 0 to 1. 0 means it is impossible to happen, while 1 means that it’s certain to happen.
1/2 or (0.5) is half way or an evens chance of occurring.
If it is more than (>) 0.5 then it is more likely to occur.
If it is less than 0.5 (<) 0.5 then it is less likely to occur.
