Answer:
False

Explanation:
A probability of 100 would mean it would be certain to happen.
0.5% probability does not mean a chance event is certain to happen.

It is not certain to happen. If it is certain to happen, the probability would have to be 100%. Otherwise, 0.5% probability would be very unlikely to happen.
