Question

Which of the following cannot be the empirical probability of an event?


1

0

2/5

5/2

​

Answer 1

Answer :

5/2

Explanation :

The chances of getting a favourable outcome is called probability and when probability is found as an outcome of historical data , it is called empirical probability .

The formula of probability of any outcome is given by :

$\boxed{ \sf {\red{probability} = \frac{favourable \: outcomes}{ \orange{total \: outcomes}}}}$

Empirical probability is also called experimental probability of an event and relative frequency .

The probability of any event may vary from 0 to 1 . Since , 5/2 is greater than 1 , it ranges out of the probability and cannot be a result of any probability .

While the other four : 1 , 0 and 2/5 lies in the range where probability can vary , so they can be a result of probability .

Answer 2

Answer:

I think the answer is 5/2
