Question

HELP!! Which of the following is not a possible value for a probability?

A. 0.001
B. 1/16
C. 0.82
D. 5/4

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we know that

Probability is the giving the possibility of given outcome or any certain events.

Probability is the number of ways of achieving the success.

Probability of event that certain to happen is 1.

Probability of event that is impossible is 0.

Sum of probabilities of all likelihood occurring events is 1.

So, Probability of any event can exceed 1.

But,

`(5)/(4)=1.25\text{ which is greater than 1}\\`

Hence, it is not possible value for a probability .

Therefore, Option 'D' is correct.
