Question

Which inequality statement best describes the probability of event (P) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$0\le P\le 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will happen.

Definition: The probability of an evant is

$P=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}$

1. An event that is certain to happen (Number of favorable outcomes = Number of all possible outcomes) has a probability of 1.

2. An event that cannot possibly happen (Number of favorable outcomes = 0) has a probability of 0.

3. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between 0 and 1.

Thus,

$0\le P\le 1$
