Explanation:

Hope it helps! :D

Answer 2

Option C is correct option.

Explanation:

We need to select the statement that does not correctly use probability to describe an event.

Probability

Whenever we need to find probability of something it lies between 0 and 1.

So, if any item has probability greater than 1 then it is incorrectly described.

Now, looking at the options:

A. The probability of a storm tomorrow is 60%.

Here probability is 0.6 (60/100 = 0.6) so it is used correctly

B. The probability of finding a matching pair of socks is 1/3

Here probability is 0.33 (1/3 = 0.33) so it is used correctly

C. The probability of taking a good class picture is 1.3.

Here probability is 1.3 but probability can be between 0 and 1. So here it is not used correctly.

D. The probability that the dog will catch the ball is 0.99.​

Here probability is 0.99 so it is used correctly

Therefore Option C is correct option.
