Determine which numbers could not be used to represent the probability of an event. Select all that apply. A. -1.5, because probability values cannot be less than 0. B. frac{320}{1058}, because probability values cannot be in fraction form. C. 0, because probability values must be greater than 0. D. 33.3%, this is because probability values cannot be greater than 1. E. 0.0002, because probability values must be rounded to two decimal places. F. frac{64}{25}, because probability values cannot be greater than 1.

Write each event in set notation and give the probability of the event. Concept Check Associate each probability in parts (a)-(e) with one of the statements in choices $\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{E}$. (a) $P(E)=0.01$ (b) $P(E)=1$ (c) $P(E)=0.99$ (d) $P(E)=0$ (e) $P(E)=0.5$ A. The event is certain. B. The event is impossible. C. The event is very likely to occur. D. The event is very unlikely to occur. E. The event is just as likely to occur as not to occur.
