Question

3) Which number
cannot represent
a
probability
( a)4/5
(b) 35%
(c) 3.5
(d) 0.6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is B. 1.5 cannot represent a probability because it is more than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of any event is

Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}Probability=

Total outcomes

Favorable outcomes

We know that

0 < \text{Favorable outcomes}} < {\text{Total outcomes}

0 < \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} < 10<

Total outcomes

Favorable outcomes

<1

0 < Probability < 10<Probability<1

It means probability of any event lies between 0 to 1.

Since 1.5>1, therefore cannot represent a probability.
