No. Probability is always represented as a positive ratio/fraction/percent.

If a p-value has a negative number will it be larger than 0.05?
If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.
Can the expected value of a discrete probability distribution be negative?
Yes it can be negative.
Does a negative z score yield a negative probability value?
no, z score can be negative but a probability is a always positive between 0 and 1.
Is alpha the probability that the test statistic would assume a value as or more extreme than the observed value of the test?
Alpha is the probability that the test statistics would assume a value as or more extreme than the observed value of the test, BY PURE CHANCE, WHEN THE NULL HYPOTHESIS IS TRUE.
Can -0.2 express a probability?
No, we can't expression any negative value as a probability. A probability ranges from 0 to 1 - 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest.
Is negative 49 a probability?
No, it's not a probability since it's not set in terms of ratio of two values, such that the second value is greater than the first. For instance: 1 to 2 or 1 / 2. Also, probability is never negative.
What is the probability the random variable will assume a value between 40 and 60?
It depends on what the random variable is, what its domain is, what its probability distribution function is. The probability that a randomly selected random variable has a value between 40 and 60 is probably quite close to zero.
What cannot be a probability value -2 3 65 percent 83 1 5?
-2, as negative value is not possible.
How do you compute the p-value?
The first step in calculating a p-value is to make a hypothesis of the statistical model for your study. You then assume that the hypothesis is true and calculate the probability of observing an outcome at least as extreme as the one that you did observe. This probability is the p-value.
What are the characteristics of probability?
Probability is a numerical value defined for a set of outcomes. It is non-negative and such that the sum or integral over all possible outcomes is 1.
Can probability of an event be negative?
An event will happen or not so its probabilty is between 0 (never happen) and 1 (will surely happen). The probability is a measure of its chance to happen. A negative probability would have no sense. You can think about probabilty this way: imagine a 1-litre bottle, it can be empty (0 litre) or full (1 litre) and any value between 0 and 1 but the value can't be negative.
Can -0.51 be a probability?
No. The probability cannot be negative.
