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.
What number is 150 percent greater than 100?
150% of 100 = 150.150 greater than 100 = 250
When the numerator is greater than the denominator what do you notice about the values for decimal and percent?
The decimal value will be greater than 1, and the percent will be greater than 100%.
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.
How do you find the percent of probability?
You multiply the probability by 100.
