Question

URGENT!!!!

Determine whether each number could be the probability of an event. Explain your reasoning.

1.5
1

Answer 1

1.5--> Not a probability

1---> Can be a probability

Explanation:

The range of the probability of an event is given by 0≤P(E)≤1

The probability of an event E, P(E) cannot be greater than 1.

This means P(E)≠1.5

P(E)=1 could be a probability of an event because it falls within the range.

Probability of an event being 1, means the event is certain to happen.
