I think that probability depends on how well developed is our civilization. For example, computers were inaccessible to the early humans who only knew stones, wood, and fire. But as time moved on, the probability of humans knowing more about them increased. In fact, the longer humanity lives the greater are its chances of reaching things that seem to be entirely inaccessible to Human Consciousness, Intellect, and Imagination. Therefore, the probability would depend on the probability of how long humanity will survive.

If it's inaccessible even to the intellect, it has no effects in our part of the universe from which we could deduce its existence as the cause. How is that any different from not existing at all? In any case, there's no meaningful way to assess a probability here.

100%
Kurt Godel proved there are things our mind cannot possibly comprehend...that there are truths we can never wrap our minds around.
"For any system of sufficient strength, there exists an unprovable truth, or the system is incomplete." Roughly paraphrased.
You can search the internet for Godel's incompleteness theorems, but good luck learning it without a teacher to help you along.
Try reading "Godel" by John L. Casti (note: Godel should have an umlaut over the 'o').

To the religiously inclined... 100%. That shrinks to 0 with non-believers.

very possible, since we would know nothing about it and can't really make any conclusions
