Understanding Probability

Question 6 • Troll - Pre-Algebra - MA3119 A

Which of these values cannot represent the probability of an event happening?

Answer
A
0.33
B
56%
C
7/8
D
1.2

Explanation

A probability must be between 0 and 1, inclusive. The values 0.33, 56% (which is 0.56), and 7/8 (which is 0.875) all fall in that range. Since 1.2 is greater than 1, it cannot represent a probability.
