Determine which of the numbers could not represent the probability of an event. Explain your reasoning. (a) $33.3 \%$ (b) -1.5 (c) 0.0002 (d) 0 (e) $\frac{320}{1058}$ (f) $\frac{64}{25}$
Added by Kenneth W.
Step 1
- The number -1.5 is less than 0, so it cannot represent the probability of an event. - The number $\frac{64}{25}$ is greater than 1, so it also cannot represent the probability of an event. ** Show more…

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

Probability For each of the values, state whether the number could be the probability of an event. Give a reason for your answers. a. $99 \%$ b. $0.9$ c. $9.9$ d. $0.0099$ e. $-0.90$

Classify each statement as an example of classical probability, empirical probability, or subjective probability. a. The probability that a person will watch the 6 o'clock evening news is 0.15 . b. The probability of winning at a Chuck-a-Luck game is $\frac{5}{36}$. c. The probability that a bus will be in an accident on a specific run is about $6 \% .$ d. The probability of getting a royal flush when five cards are selected at random is $\frac{1}{649,740} .$
