- #10Which of the following can not be the probability of an event? (i) 2/7 (ii) 3.8 (iii) 37% (iv) - 0.8 (v) 0.8 (vi) -2/5 (vii) 7/8Ans : (i) The probability of an event cannot be (ii) 3.8 i.e. the probability of an even cannot exceed 1.
(iv) i.e. -0.8 and
(vi) -2/5, This is because probability of an even can never be less than 1.
