4. Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?
(A) 2/3
(B) –1.5
(C) 15%
(D) 0.7
We know, probability of an event is either greater than or equal to 0 and always less than or equal to 1. Hence the probability of an event can never be negative.
Therefore, (B) cannot be the probability of an event.
Also, (A) :
(C):
(D): 0.7
Hence (A), (C), (D) all lie between 0 and 1.
