Step-by-step explanation

One of the rules of probability states that the probability of any event A satisfies 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1. In other words, the probability of any event is greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to zero.

Considering that, the value that cannot represent the probability of an event happening is 1.2.


\begin{gathered} 0\leq0.33\leq1\Rightarrow\text{ True} \\ 56\%=(56)/(100)=0.56\Rightarrow0\leq0.56\leq1\operatorname{\Rightarrow}\text{True} \\ (7)/(8)=0.875\Rightarrow0\leq0.875\leq1\Rightarrow\text{ True} \\ 0\leq1.2\leq1\Rightarrow\text{ False} \end{gathered}Answer

1.2
