Well no, according to the very definition of probability. It is only theoretically probable, and therefor does not necessarily always occur in that exact ratio. For example, if you flip a coin 100 times, you probably won't get heads 50 times and tails 50 times, even though it may be mathematically probable, because it is still unlikely in the real world.
