Explore what probability means and why it's useful. Probability is simply how likely something is to happen. Whenever we’re unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are. The analysis of events governed by probability is called statistics.

Probability Underlies Much Of The Modern World An Engineering Professor Explains How It Actually Works
Probability concerns events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1][1][2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to 100%.
How likely something is to happen. Many events can't be predicted with total certainty. The best we can say is how likely they are to happen, using the idea of probability. When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: Also: When a single die is thrown, there are six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
