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.

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%
