Question

which of these no. cannot be a probability:- (a) -0.0001 (b) 0.5 (c) 1.001 (d) 0 (e) 1​

Answer 1

Answer: option ( d )

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability can never be 0.

Answer 2

Option (a) ,Option (c)and Option (d) cannot be a probability.

• Probability is the possibility of an outcome of a random event.
• The probability of an event is always greater than 0 or less than equal to  1. and The probability of a sure event is 1.
• (a) - 0.0001 is lesser than 0.Therefore it cannot be a probability.
• (b) 0.5 lies between 0 and 1 . Therefore it is a probability.
• (c) 1.001 is more than 1. Therefore it cannot be a probability.
• (d) 0, The probability of an event will not be less than 0. Therefore it cannot be a probability.
• (e) 1, The probability of a sure event is 1. Therefore it is a probability.
• Hence, the Option (a) ,Option (c)and Option (d) cannot be a probability.
