Has anyone calculated like "the odds" of it probabalistically?

I'm not sure exactly how else you might calculate it, but, we know life is possible, so in an infinitely large universe, containing infinite stars with infinite planets existing for an infinite amount of time, the odds of life existing on another planet can't be less than 100%.
