Trust you to come up with something like this Confusedhock:

Is probability something that can be described as either correct or incorrect?

If the probability of heads coming out in a coin toss is 49% then isn't that correct. So then the probability of that statement being true must be 100% which means that it is a certainty and not a probability.

But then can anything be 100% certain?

I think I needed notice of this question Confused Fall
