If P(A)=0.28P(A)=0.28 and P(B)=0.35P(B)=0.35, which event—AA or BB—is more likely to occur?
Intuitive explanation

Event BB is more likely because probability is a direct measure of likelihood: the higher the probability value, the more often you'd expect that event to happen in the long run. Since 0.35>0.280.35 > 0.28, event BB has a greater chance of occurring than event AA.
