likely

certain

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The closer a probability is to 0, the less likely the event will occur. This type of event is defined as an unusual event. Typically, a probability of 5%, or . 05, is considered unusual.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similarly, if the P(the variable has a value of x or less) < 0.05, then you can consider this an unusually low value. Another way to think of this is if the probability of getting a value as small as x is less than 0.05, then the event x is considered unusual.
Detailed explanation-3: -∴ P (not E) = 1 – P(E) = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95.
