Answer: The results from this activity indicate that events that are unlikely to occur have a probability close to 0, events that are neither likely nor unlikely to occur have a probability close to 1/2, or 0.5, and events that are likely to occur have a probability close to 1.

Meaning of probability: the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case.

Meaning of likelihood: the state or fact of something's being likely; probability.

These are similar and are literally the same. Probability is the chance of something happening. Likelihood is the change of something happening too.

Probability is a number or ratio and likelihood is a statement.

Probability: the probability of the dice rolling on (one dot) is 1/6.

Likelihood: the likelihood of the dice rolling on (one dot) is equal to the likelihood of the dice rolling on all the different numbers
