In terms of formal logic, Does “probably” mean “most”?

Or in other words, does “probably” mean 51% or more?

No. Absolutely not in any context within the LSAT. most is an existential qualifier while probably is a representation of probability.

Most = half plus at least 1
probably = could happen. Does not HAVE to mean more than 50%
