Question

question 1 of 10
which of the following is not a possible value for a
probability?
a. \\( \frac { 10 } { 100 } \\)
b. 1.001
c. 0.82
d. \\( \frac { 1 } { 16 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the range of probability values

The probability \(P\) of an event satisfies \(0\leq P\leq1\).

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: \(\frac{10}{100}=0.1\), and \(0\leq0.1\leq1\).
• Option B: \(1.001> 1\).
• Option C: \(0\leq0.82\leq1\).
• Option D: \(\frac{1}{16}\approx0.0625\), and \(0\leq0.0625\leq1\).

Answer:

B. \(1.001\)
