Question

a) the probability of an event that cannot occur is

impossible to calculate.
0.
2.
1.

Explanation:

Identify the event type

The question asks for the probability of an event that cannot occur. An event that cannot occur is known as an impossible event.

Apply probability rules

By definition, the probability of any event \(P(A)\) must lie within the range \(0 \le P(A) \le 1\).

Determine the value

An event that is guaranteed to happen has a probability of \(1\). An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of \(0\).

Answer:

• impossible to calculate.
• 0. (Correct answer)
• 2.
• 1.
