Question

If x is the probability of an impossible event, then which of the following is true?

x < 0
x = 0
x > 1

Answer 1

An impossible event is one that has no chance of happenening so x = 0 in this case or B

Answer 2

x=0

C is correct

Explanation:

If x is the probability of an impossible event.

Probability is defined between 0≤0≤1

The value of probability can't be negative or less than 0.

The value of probability can't be greater than 1.

For impossible event probability must be 0 because event doesn't occur.

Here, x is the probability of impossible event.

Event is impossible. So, probability must be 0

x = 0

Hence, The value of x is 0
