The value 44.998 is NOT a value for a probability of an outcome in a sample space (all possible outcomes in an experiment).

The values for probability must be a value between 0 and 1 (both inclusive), and we have here a value of 44.998.

The probability is a ratio of favorable cases over the total possible cases (sample space), and it can be represented as a decimal that represents a fraction, a fraction, or a percentage. The number 44.998 cannot be represented as a number between 0 and 1 (both inclusive).

In summary, the answer is NO.
