- 0.6
- 1.5
- 75%
- \( \frac{2}{5} \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The probability of an event must always be a number between 0 and 1, inclusive.
Hence, 1.5 is not a valid probability, as it is greater than 1.
Thus, the correct answer is \( 1.5 \).
