Confusion about using plural or singular form of noun
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am confused about using either singular or plural form in the following. Should I use "success probability" or "success probabilities"? Any help will be highly appreciated.
The success probability of each individual link will be derived in the next section.
or
The success probabilities of each individual link will be derived in the next section.
