Drake equation.

Take the probability of all of the variables that allow a planet like Earth to host life, and multiply.

Unfortunately, with a definite sample size of one, there's disputes tp be had about which variables to include, and depending on these you either get millions of inhabited technological planets in our galaxy or 1>x>0, which we know not to be the case, as it happened once.
