Yes it can be 0.


Can the probability of an outcome be greater that one?

No. The probability of an outcome (or event) is always a number between 0 and 1.

How does the mere observation change the outcome?

I am a commerce student and not familiar with quantum physics but here is my theory.. This are the imaginary values of an experiment. (Conducted normally i.e You are not observing)- 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 8 This is the imaginary values of the same experiment except this time you are observing it. (Consider your observation as the second value i.e 0=Not observing/1=Observing) 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 9 So conclusion is that in the first case the outcome of the experiment is 8 where as in the second case its 9. i.e Proving the change in output of an experiment with mere observation.


Why can't a probability be greater than 1?

Probability is the chance something is going to happen. It has to be DO/PO DO= desired outcome PO= probable outcome. The probability can not be 1 because it has to be a percent chance of out of a fraction, which are both smaller than 1.


Can probability outcomes be expressed as negative integer's?

The outcomes of a trial can be a negative integer but the probability of any outcome must be in the range [0, 1].
