What is 80% chance?

An 80% chance means there’s a really good chance something will happen, like when you're almost sure you’ll get your favorite snack.

Imagine you have 10 pieces of candy in a bag. If 8 of them are chocolate and 2 are grape, then if you pick one at random, you have an 80% chance it will be chocolate. That’s like having 8 out of 10 chances to win a little treat.

Think of it like playing a game where you roll a die with 10 sides instead of 6. If 8 sides say "You Win!" and only 2 sides say "Try Again," then every time you roll, there’s an 80% chance you’ll win.

If you have 10 toys, and 8 of them are your favorite, when you close your eyes and pick one, you’re probably going to get a toy you really like, that’s an 80% chance in action!
