Question

Determine which of the following numbers could not be​ probabilities, and​ why? Select all that apply. A. The number 175​% could not be a probability because it is larger than​ 100%. B. The number 5.91 could not be a probability because it is larger than 1. C. The number 0.66 could not be a probability because it is smaller than 1. D. The number 0.002 could not be a probability because it is extremely small. E. The number negative 110​% could not be a probability because it is negative.

Answer 1

Answer:

As we know that probability value must always be between 0 and 1, it can not be greater than 1 and it can not be less than zero or any negative values

A. Number 175% = 1.75 which is greater than 1, so cannot be the value of probability

B.  The number 5.91 could not be a probability because it is larger than 1, to be the probability value the number must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1.

C. The number 0.66 can be a probability value because it lies in range 0 and 1.

D. The number 0.002 can be a probability because it is greater than zero and less than 1

E. The number negative 110​% could not be a probability because it is negative. Yes probability can not be negative

Answer 2

Answer:

A Not a probability B.Probability C.not a probability d.Probability E propability F.not a propability

Step-by-step explanation:

A propability of any event is a number between zero and one

A)175%  converted 1.75 so lies outside zero and one not a propability

B)5.91 lies outside the zero and one rage not a propability

C)0.66 lies in the zero and one rage therefore a propability

D)0.002 Lies within the zero and one range therefore a propability

E) -110% converted equals -1.1 so does not lies in this range not a propability
