What is the probability of an impossible event
Answers
Here u go
P (impossible event) =0
hope it helps u....
Answer:
It depends what you mean by "Probability of impossible event". This is an ambiguous phrase which would be interpreted in several different ways:
▪ The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen. I suspect most people on this site will go for this answer. An example would be drawing a joker from a standard (thus jokerless) 52 card deck of playing cards. It aint gunna happen.
▪ It is not known ahead of time if an event is possible or impossible and you are asking what are the chances it may be impossible. For example, flipping a coin so it lands on its edge. Some people think this is impossible since they seem to always say 50% chance heads and 50% tails but that is wrong cuz it depends where it "lands". I've seen a coin land on its side and stay there. What if you flip it and it lands in soft sand for example?
▪ A certain event may seem impossible now but in the future it may be possible. For example, it was thought to be impossible that a dirt bike (motorcycle) could ever do a double backflip ramp to ramp in competition but it has been done fairly recently (2006 X-games by Travis Pastrana). Actually to me it seems more like a double reverse flip (facing forwards but flipping backwards). Possible outcomes for this event would be success without injury, success but with injury, failure with injury, death....
Is there a time constraint on your event? If not, then it may just take a while for the seemingly impossible event to happen and thus confirm it is possible.
So my answer is depending on what definition/interpretation of "impossible" you use, the probability can differ although I wouldn't know how to compute any interpretation other than the interpretation of truly not possible.
