Both 50% and 35% could represent probabilities because probabilities range from 0% (impossible) to 100% (certain), and both percentages fall within that range. Both 50% and 35% represent probabilities. A probability is a number between 0 and 1 that represents the likelihood of an event occurring, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means the event is certain. 50% means that the event has an equal chance of occurring and not occurring, while 35% means that the event has a chance of occurring that is less than 50% but greater than 0.
