Question

Determine whether the number could be the probability of an event. Explain your reasoning. 2.3

Answer 1

(a) 33.3% (b) -1.5 (c) 0.0002 (d) 0 (e)  320/1058 (f) 64/25

Answer:

a. possible

b. not possible

c. possible

d. possible

e. possible

f. not possible

Explanation:

The probability of an event must be between 0 and 1 (including 0 and 1 both). Since 33% is equal to 0.33, it is between 0 and 1, thus it is a possible probable event. -1.5 is not between 0 and 1. The next option is between 0 and 1.

0 can also be a possible probable event. The next option is also between 0 and 1 which can be probability of an event. But the last option is not between the range of 0 and 1, thus can not represent probability of an event.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, it can't be the probability of an event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities range from 0 to 1, and 2.3 goes above 1 so it can't be a probability.

That's all I can do to explain, sorry I'm late and that my explanation is short!
