In the sense that everything in the universe is related to everything
else, yes, they are related. But there is no relationship that is
particularly relevant between the probability of an event happening
and the fact that someone hopes that it happens. Whether or not
someone hopes that something happens generally has no impact on its
probability of it happening. And the probability of something
happening has no direct impact on how much someone may hope that it
happens.

Consider "rinka" for example. It has an event in x1 and another event
in x2, but no places for the probabilities of the events. Consider any
other gismu with an event place, they don't have an additional place
for the probability. What is so significant about the probability of
the event of "pacna" that it has its own argument place?
