The answer is A. Probabilities have to be values between 0 and 1. 5/4 is the same as 1.25, which is greater than 1.
Among following the value which is not possible for a probability is:
Option: A
A. [tex]\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]
We know that the probability of an event is the chance or likelihood of occurring of an event.
Hence, from the given options:
A)
[tex]\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]
we see that the probability value is greater than 1.
Since, [tex]\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25[/tex]
B)
0.001
It could be a possibility as the value lie between 0 and 1
C)
0.82
It is also possible, since it lie between 0 and 1.
D)
[tex]\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]
This value is also possible for a probability.
Since, [tex]\dfrac{1}{16}=0.0625[/tex]
which lie between 0 and 1.
