We can quantify this by a value between 0 and 1, or between 0% and 100%. For example, maybe we say The Warriors have a good chance of winning the game since Curry is one of the best free throw shooters in the NBA, say 0.7 or 70% . Maybe Thuy (from her experience in auditioning) is less likely to get the starring role, say 0.2 or 20%. These quantities are called probabilities.
