Answer: D) 3/2

Reason:

The fraction 3/2 converts to 1.5 in decimal form

This is larger than 1 which is not possible for probability values. They must be between 0 and 1 inclusive of both endpoints.

  • 0 represents 0% chance the event happens (i.e. it's impossible to happen)
  • 1 represents 100% chance it happens (i.e. guaranteed certainty to happen)
