Yep, to be exact, the chance of the asteroid hitting the earth in 2014 is either 0 or 1, and it is most likely inexorably on a course that will either hit us or not. (about the only randomly variable factor I can think of that could shift its course in an unpredictable manner would be the solar wind, and I doubt that could alter its course very much at all.
