Introducing...probability

We will start learning about probability today!  What is probability?  Probability means the chances of something happening.  

For example:

It is IMPOSSIBLE for cows to rain from the sky.  Cows will NEVER rain from the sky, there is NO chance for that to happen.  That is why it is IMPOSSIBLE.

It is CERTAIN that the sun will rise and set tomorrow.  When it is morning time, the sun will rise, making it day time.  When the sun sets, it turns into night.  That is 100% going to happen.  The sun won't stay in the sky forever, or else it'll be daytime forever!    That is why it is CERTAIN.

Now, it is your turn to sort these events into the chances of it happening.  Is it CERTAIN for something to happen or is it IMPOSSIBLE?
