Which of the following does not represent probability of an event?
- 0
- 1
- 1·0001
- 0.99999
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The probability of an event lies between 0 and 1, inclusive. This means: \[ 0 \leq P(\text{Event}) \leq 1 \] Option (A) 0 is a valid probability, representing an impossible event.
Option (B) 1 is a valid probability, representing a certain event.
Option (D) 0.99999 is a valid probability, as it is still within the range [0, 1].
However, option (C) 1.0001 is not a valid probability because it exceeds the upper limit of 1.
The correct option is (C): \(1·0001\)
