Question

Can 7.628 be the probability of an outcome in a sample space yes or no

Answer 1

A probability is a ratio between the number of favorable events and the total number of events.

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{favorable events}}{total\text{ number of events}}`

The total number of events that can happen is called the size of the sample space.

The number of favorable events cannot be greater than the total number of events, this is why, the probability will always be a number between 0 and 1.

Since 7.628 is not a number between 0 and 1, it cannot be a probability.

Answer: No
