(1)

An example from my own experience of something that happened to me that was "probable" :

Today I was able to complete the Assignment to be submitted by me. This event, "completing the Assignment" is probable because the Assignment is not tough and I had already done the required background work sufficiently early.

An example from my own experience of something that happened to me that was "improbable" :

In the last Semester, I got very low marks in Statistics. This event, "got very low marks in Statistics" is improbable because as per my judgement the question paper was easy and I have answered almost majority of the questions correctly.

An example from my own experience of something that happened to me that was "highly improbable" :

I got First Prize in a Lottery conducted by our college. This event, "got First Prize in a Lottery conducted by our college" is highly improbable because there was only one First prize and the number of tickets sold were more than 1 lakh.
