Question

which of the following of an cannot be the probability of an event (a) 1/3 (b) 3/5 (c) 5/3. (d) 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability of an event always lies between 1 and 0

Thus the correct option is (c) 5/3 as it is a larger value than 1

Answer 2

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

(c) 5/3

The probability of an event is the extent to which is that event is likely to happen.

(1) Probability of an event can never be negative.

(2) Probability of an event can never be greater than 1.

So, probability of an event lies between 0 and 1 (including them)

As 5/3 is greater than 1, it cannot be probability of an event.

(c) is the answer.
