The probability of any outcome cannot be larger than which number?
larger than 1
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 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.
What is the relationship between an outcome and the probability of that outcome?
An outcome is what actually happens, while the probability of that outcome is how likely that particular thing is to happen. Say I was flipping a coin. The probability of the outcome of heads is 1/2 because there are 2 possible outcomes and heads is only 1 of them. Then when I flip the coin, it lands on tails. The outcome is tails.
What is the probability that a white sock would be pulled out a drawer of all white socks?
Whenever there is only one possible outcome of an experiment, the probability of this outcome is 1, which you can also write as 100%.
