Answer:

Likely

Explanation:

The probability of occurrence of a certain event Given as 95% has a high probability figure and hence such event is LIKELY to occur. We cannot class this probability percentage as certain because, an event which is certain to occur who'll have a probability percentage of 100% or a value of 1. Therefore, a probability percentage of 95% occurrence still has 5% Chace of not happening, hence it is only very likely to occur. Hence, the phrase which best describes the probability of an event with 95% probability happening is LIKELY.
