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 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.

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%.
