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 is the probability of getting a number greater than 0 when rolling a single die once?

Well, honey, unless that die is rigged or magical, the probability of getting a number greater than 0 when rolling it once is 100%. I mean, unless you manage to roll a negative number or a zero, but then we'd have bigger problems to deal with than just probabilities.


What is greater probability 15 out of 16 or 99 out of 100?

99/100 > 15/16


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't a probability be greater than one?

Because probability is measured from zero to one, where zero means something cannot happen and one meaning it will definitely happen. This can also be looked at as there being a 0% chance or 100% chance of it happening. So obviously there can not be more of a chance than it definitely happening, so it cannot be more than one.


If you roll a nine-sided die what is the probability you will roll a value greater than zero?

If zero is the number on one of the 9 sides, then the probability is 8/9 = 88.9% (rounded)If zero is not the number on any one of the 9 sides, then the probability is 100%.


Can probability be higher than 100 percent... Say you have 4 oil wells each with a 30 percent chance of hitting ...Isn't the calculated probability of one hitting 120 percent?

No. Probability is defined as a number between 0 and 1 (100 percent). If you have four oil wells, each with a probability of hitting being 30%, then the probability of at least one hitting is 100% - (100% - 30%)4, or about 76%.


Example of an integer greater than 100?

What is the probability that the number 23 will be randomly picked out of 100?

Assuming then that there are 100 numbers, 1-100, the probability of the number 23 being randomly picked out of 100 is: 1/100 or 0.01.
