प्रश्न

Which number cannot represent a probability?

विकल्प

  • `2/3` 

  • 1.5 

  • 15%

  • 0.7

  • `15/10`

MCQ

उत्तर

`bb(15/10)` or 1.5

Explanation:

The probability of any event is Probability = `"Favorable outcomes"/"Total outcomes"`

We know that

0 < Favourable outcomes > Total outcomes

`0 < "Favorable outcomes"/"Total outcomes" < 1`

0 < Probability < 1

It means the probability of any event lies between 0 to 1.

Since 1.5 > 1, therefore cannot represent a probability.
