Detailed explanation-1: -Probabilities are given values between 0 and 1. A probability of 0 means that the event is impossible, while a probability of 1 means that it is certain. The closer the probability of an event is to 1, the more likely it is to happen. The closer the probability of an event is to 0, the less likely it is to happen.
Detailed explanation-2: -A probability of 1 means an event is guaranteed to happen. A probability close to 0 means the event is “not likely” and a probability close to 1 means the event is “highly likely” to occur.
Detailed explanation-3: -The probability of an event which is certain to happen is 1. In other words, the probability of a sure event is 1.
Detailed explanation-4: -If an event has only one possible outcome, the probability for this outcome is always 1 (or 100 percent).
Detailed explanation-5: -An event, whose probability of occurrence is 1, is called a certain or a sure event.
