What is the greatest possible probability in any experiment?

A. 9/10
B. 1
C. 10
D. 100

Answer 1

B) GREATEST POSSIBLE PROBABILITY in any experiment is 1.

Explanation:

The probability of any event E is given as:

`\textrm{Probability of any event E} = \frac{\textrm{Number of favorable events}}{\textrm{Total Number of outcomes}}`

Let us assume the the number of TOTAL OUTCOMES of any event E = n

Now, if the event is a SURE EVENT, then all outcomes are favorable events.

So, the total number of maximum favorable events = n

`\textrm{Probability of event E} = \frac{\textrm{Number of favorable events}}{\textrm{Total Number of outcomes}} = (n)/(n) = 1`

Hence, the GREATEST POSSIBLE PROBABILITY in any experiment is 1.
