Question

Which of the following numbers cannot represent a probability $?$

• A. $0.66$
• B. $1.5$
• C. $0.15$
• D. $0.7$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$1.5$

Explanation for the correct answer:

The probability of an event lies between $0$ and $1$. The probability of an event cannot be greater than $1$.

Thus, $1.5$ cannot be represented as a probability

So, Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option A. $0.66$

The probability of an event lies between $0$ and $1$. The probability of an event cannot be greater than $1$.

Thus, $0.66$ can be represented as a probability

So, option A is not the correct answer.

Option C. $0.15$

The probability of an event lies between $0$ and $1$. The probability of an event cannot be greater than $1$.

Thus, $0.15$ can be represented as a probability

So, option C is not the correct answer.

Option D. $0.7$

The probability of an event lies between $0$ and $1$. The probability of an event cannot be greater than $1$.

Thus, $0.7$ can be represented as a probability

So, option C is not the correct answer.

Hence the correct option is option B.
