Meet two wiggly worms. This is onezie: 10000000....000 And this is pointzie .00000...00001 The question is: who is longer. If onezie is the number of events And pointzie is the probability something happens, then If onezie is much bigger, our something is very likely. If pointzie is much bigger, our something is very unlikely. If onezie and pointzie are roughly the same size, we are not sure.
