Question

Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?

• A. $\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $-0.6$
• C. $\frac{3}{5}$
• D. $1.0001$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $1.0001$

The probability of an event E, P(E)$=\frac{\text{favourable no. of outcomes}}{\text{total no. of outcomes}}$

Since the favourable no. of outcomes are always less than or equal to the total no. of outcomes, $P\left(E\right)\le 1$.
