After a die has been rolled shouldn't the probability be 50 50 for any given outcome it either is or it isn't so it is a certain number should have the probability 1 2 More semantics than math?

Assuming as the die is rolled, and its a 6-sided die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6), each number has a 1/6 probability of being rolled. The probability of any number being rolled is 1/6 and the probability of not rolling that number is 5/6. Something that has only 2 outcomes, such as boy & girl or heads & tails, will have the 50 50 probability.

The chance of a certain outcome is called its?
The chance of a certain outcome is it's probability.
How is random chance related to probability?
Probability is the study of events whose outcome is not certain. If the experiment or trial is not random, and the experimenter conducts it in such a way that a certain outcome is obtained, then there is no probability involved: the question is deterministic.
Can the probability have an outcome of 1?
It depends on the particular problem. An outcome of 1, for example, is one of the outcomes of rolling a standard six-sided die.A probability of 1, however, which is what the question might mean, means that the outcome is certain to occur, but that outcome is not necessarily 1. This is one of the distinctions between probability and outcome - they are not the same thing.
What is theoretical probaility?
The probability that a certain outcome will occur which is determined through reasoning or calculation.
What is the probability of tossing a coin 20 times?
Do you mean what are all the possible outcomes? Or what is the probability of a certain outcome? Need a little more information.
What does probability level mean?
The probability level for an outcome is the probability that the outcome was at least as extreme as the one that was observed.
Explain probability distribution?
The probability distribution of an experiment is a function that maps the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment to that outcome.
Is it true that probability predict the precise outcome of an individual event?
False. Probability only predicts the outcome. It does not assure the outcome.
Can the probability of an outcome be more than 1?
No, the probability of an outcome can't be more than 1.
What does uniform probability mean in math?
Uniform probability can refer to a discrete probability distribution for which each outcome has the same probability. For a continuous distribution, it requires that the probability of the outcome is directly proportional to the range of values in the desired outcome (compared to the total range).
Can the probability of an outcome be greater that one?
No. The probability of an outcome (or event) is always a number between 0 and 1.
How do you get a probability?
The outcome of some events are cannot be determined in advance. There is an element of uncertainty in the outcome. Probability is a measure of this uncertainty.
