An empirical estimate of the probability of an event is the ratio of the number of succesful outcomes to the total number of trials. By definition, the ratio is a fraction. However, there are many events for which the theoretical probability is related to Irrational Numbers. For example, it you randomly drop a pin on a floor of wooden boards, the probability that the pencil lies across a lateral join is related to pi. Being irrational, this cannot be expressed as a fraction.

When you turn a fraction over you get a?
When you turn a fraction over you get a reciprocal.
What is the formula for probability fraction?
Usually, a fraction is already a probability. Like if you roll a die, the probability that you will get a 1 is 1/6. So your probability would be your fraction.

Do you write a probability as a fraction?
Yes, the probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1 (both inclusive). You can write it as a fraction - in rational form or as a percentage.

Can a probability assume a negative value?
No. Probability is always represented as a positive ratio/fraction/percent.
