Answer 3

probability is 1 out of 8

so it just means that the event is likely to occur once in every 8 tries.

Answer 4

ok so than it would be unlikely

Answer 5

if you consider 1 out of 8 is unlikely, then yes...

that might not be true for all events,
like if I get a lottery 1 out of 8 times, I am extremely lucky :D
