Prediction probabilities are also known as:
They gives the probability of a predicted outcome (the chance of something happening)
If you give me several pictures of cats and dogs – and then you ask me to classify a new cat photo – I should return a prediction with rather high confidence. But if you give me a photo of an ostrich and force my hand to decide if it's a cat or a dog – I better return a prediction with very low confidence.

Probability classification is not black-or-white classification (0 or 1) and output then confidence.

Many algorithm uses algorithm to be able to predict the good class.
