Answer 3

My \(personal\) use of the terms are as follows, but the limits are arbitrary and could vary a lot from one person to another.

term probability
certain 1.0
impossible 0.0
likely 2/3 to 0.975
very likely 0.975 to 0.99999
unlikely 0.025 to 1/3
very unlikely 0.000001 to 0.025

Answer 4

its unlikely right

Answer 5

Unlikely is correct because 1/8 = 0.125, which is way below 0.5 (fifty-fifty).
