• Some events are impossible. These events have a probability of .
• Some events are certain. These events have a probability of .
• There is no way to select a blue cube if there are no blue cubes in the bag.
• You will always get a green cube if there are only green cubes in the bag.

• Some events are classified as equally likely to happen or to not happen. These events have a probability of .• Some events are more likely to
happen than to not happen. These events will have a probability that is greater than . These events could be described as “likely” to occur.
• Flipping coin and landing on head or tail
• If you have a bag that contains eight blue cubes and two red cubes, and you select one at random, it is likely that you will get a blue cube.

• Some events are less likely to happen than to not happen. These events will have a probability that is less than . These events could be described as “unlikely” to occur.
• If you have a bag that contains eight blue cubes and two red cubes, and you select one at random, it is unlikely that you will get a red cube.
