Why can't probability be negative?
Because probability is a measure of how likely it is that some event will occur. If there is no chance at all that the even will occur than the probability is 0. If it will occur with 100% certainty, then it is 1 or 100% A negative number would have no meaning in terms of how likely an even is to occur?
Can Standard Deviation be greater than 100?
Yes. It can have any non-negative value.
What is the name of an angle of 100 degree?
It is an obtuse angle because it's greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees
What is a number greater than 60 but less than 100 the number is a multiple of 4 and 6 but not a multiple of 8?
84
How do you determine percentages greater than 100?
To determine percentages less than 100, multiply the number by x/100. The same holds for percentages over 100 - for example, finding 250 percent of a number is equivalent to multiplying the number by 250/100, that is, 2.5.
Is it possible to have a probability greater than 100 Explain?
yes
Can there be a probability greater than 100 percent?
no
What is the probability of 315 being greater than 100?
1
Can odds be greater than one?
yes they can In terms of probability, one is taken to mean absolute certainty, something that must happen, equivalent to a 100% probability (100 out of 100 is equal to one). Hence, odds cannot be greater than one.
What examples are there for a theoretical probability of 100?
No probability - theoretical or not - can be 100. Therefore no examples are possible.No probability - theoretical or not - can be 100. Therefore no examples are possible.No probability - theoretical or not - can be 100. Therefore no examples are possible.No probability - theoretical or not - can be 100.

Is it possible that there are even prime numbers greater than 100?
No.
Why can't there be probability density equal to 100 percent in an orbital?
The probability density cannot be greater than 100% because nothing exists with a higher probability, except colloquially. We can say that we have a 110% certainty of something but that is only meant to express how certain we are. Because in reality nothing can be more than 100% in terms of probability density.
What is greater probability 15 out of 16 or 99 out of 100?
99/100 > 15/16
How is it possible to subtract a number from 100 and get a result that is greater than 100?
Subtract a negative, eg 100 - (-1) = 101.
Why can't probability be greater than one or less than zero?
Probabilities are given a value between 0 (0% chance or will not happen) and 1 (100% chance or will happen). You cannot have a negative percent for something that will not happen or a percent greater than 100 for something that will happen.
Why can not 120 percent be the probabilty of some event?
COnsider some event A and the number of outcomes that are favourable to A. Then the probability of A is the number of such outcomes as a proportion of all possible outcomes (related to the trial or experiment). Defined as a proportion in this way, it can never be greater than 1. Converted to a percentage, that means it can never be greater than 100 percent.
Is it possible to have a percentage value greater than 100 percent?
yes like 200%,500% it can go over 100%
