Question

Which of the following values cannot be probabilities?

1) 0
2) 1.2
3) 2
4) 1
5) 5/3
6) 0.06
7) 3/5
8) -0.52

Answer 1

The values that cannot be probabilities are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values that cannot be probabilities are:

1. 2: Probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
2. 3: Probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
3. 4: Since the sum of all probabilities in a distribution must equal 1, this cannot be a probability on its own.
4. 5: Probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
5. 8: Probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
