Question

7/2 is the probability of an event? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

No, 7/2 can not be the probability of an event. ... It is the likelihood that an event will occur. The number of favorable outcomes is always less that or equal to the total number of possible outcomes and number of outcomes can not be negative.

Answer 2

7/2 cannot be a probability of an event.

• Probability is the chance of anything which can happen. It gives the possibility of anything that is likely to happen.
• It is given by favorable outcomes of an event divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
• When the favorable outcome of an event is equal to the total number of possible outcomes then it is called a sure event and its probability is one.
• When the favorable outcome of an event is 0 then the event is called an impossible event and its probability is 0.
• Hence, the range of the probability of an event is between 0 and 1. The probability of an event cannot be 7/2.
