Which of the following cannot be the probability of occurrence of an event?

(i) 0 (ii)


(iii) (iv)


(ii) and (iv) can’t be the probability of occurrence of an event. So, (ii) and (iv) are the answers to our question.

Explanation:


We know that,


i.e. probability can vary from 0 to 1(both are inclusive)


So, (i) 0 can be possible as


(ii) is not possible as it is less than 0


(iii) is possible as


(iv) is not possible as it is greater than 1


Conclusion: and are the probabilities that cannot occur.
