Consider rolling two dice
The most likely outcome is a 7.
Now, if you add up the probability of all "non 7" outcomes, a "non 7" is more likely than a 7. But that is a CUMULATIVE probability (adding up multiple outcomes instead of a single outcome).
But that isn't what "most likely" means. It means that the single most likely outcome is 7. No other single outcome is more likely.
