The Role of Probability. Basic Concepts of Probability. A probability is a number that reflects the chance or likelihood that a particular event will occur. Probabilities can be expressed as proportions that range from 0 to 1, and they can also be expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.
Thus, when people hypoventilate (i.e. causing an increase in CO2) this causes the pH in your blood to decrease, making it more acidic. (and when hyperventilation occurs, O2 is increased, which causes an increase in pH - making blood more basic).
But to understand how hypoglycemia happens, it helps to know how your body normally regulates blood sugar production, absorption and storage. During digestion, your body breaks down carbohydrates from foods â such as bread, rice, pasta, vegetables, fruit and milk products â into various sugar molecules.
