b. 0.29
c. 85%
d. 3/2

Answer 1

The answer for this is a

Answer 2

Probability

d) 3/2

Explanation:

Probability deals with calculating the likelihood of an event's occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. An event with a probability of 1 is considered a certain event, whereas an event with a probability of .5 can be considered to have equal odds of occurring or not occurring of the event. Lastly, an event with a probability of 0 is considered an impossibility.

Since all the options 1/100, 0.29 and 85% are values between 0 and 1, they can be a probability of an event.

However 3/2 is more than 1 so it cannot be a probability of an event. So the option d) 3/2 is the correct answer.
