| probability |
A probability provides a quantitative description of the likely occurrence of a particular event. Probability is conventionally expressed on a scale of zero to one. A rare event has a probability close to zero. A very common event has a probability close to one. The probability of drawing a spade from a pack of 52 well-shuffled playing cards is 13 spades divided by 52 cards, or .25.
