Question

Which of these could not be probability a 3.5 B.35353535C 5.3 D 53% or e 530%

Answer 1

The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates the impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

From the options given, we will have to test each of them to see if they fall within the definition

For option A

3.5 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For option B

35353535 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For option C

5.3 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For Option D

`53\text{ \% means }(53)/(100)`
`(53)/(100)=0.53`

Since 0.53 falls between 0 and 1, it could be a probability

For Option E

`530\text{ \% means }(530)/(100)`

=>

`(530)/(100)=5.3`

5.3 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

Therefore, in conclusion

Options A, B, C and E could not be probability
