A is no more likely than B. Does this mean
- A is either as likely or less likely than B.
- A and B occur with the same likelihood.

'A is no more likely than B' -> 'A is not > B' -> 'A <= B'. Your '1' is correct. '2' is include as part of your '1'– MitchApr 15, 2015 at 15:13

A different way of phrasing "A is no more likely than B" would be "A is equally or less likely to occur than B".
The above is a logical inversion, and language isn't always as logical as we'd like it to be. From personal experience, people seem to mostly intend to say that A and B are equally likely to happen.
Either of your options is right. A is technically the most correct translation, while B will mostly be what people mean by it.
