Let's take the simple case of tossing a coin. You may end up with the Head facing up or the Tail facing up. If the coin is perfectly balanced then in the long run (say a 1000 tosses) you will get about 500 heads and 500 tails. You will never get 1000 heads or 1000 tails. In this simple experiment the probability of heads is defined as 500/1000 and the proability of tails is defined as 500/1000 where the numerator represnets in each case a "tagged" event and the denominator denotes the "toal" events. Thus in the case above the occurrence of Head or Tail can never be 1000, it will always be less the 1000 (the total attempts in the experiment). Hence 500/1000 (ratio of "tagged" event to the total eveents) which is defined as the probability can never be 1. In the extreme case where the coin is weighted (a counterfeit)such that you always get heads facing up then out of 1000 tries you will get 1000 heads and zero tails. In this case the probability of heads is 1 and the probability of tails is zero. I hope this explanation helps. Thus true probablity of an event lies between 0 and 1, both inclusive.
If the probability of an event x happening is P(x) where P(x) must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1, P(x) can be written as: 1. A decimal, for example P(x)=.5 2. A fraction, for example P(x)=1/2 3. A percent, for example, P(X)=50%.
Any amount that is equal to or less than $.99.
The integers less than or equal to 2 are: {2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, ...}
A die normally has six sides with the numbers 1 to 6 on them, so any roll will be less than 10 and thus the probability of getting less than 10 with a die is 1. With two normal dice, the sum of the digits on the dice added together ranges from 2 to 12 and the probability of getting less than 10 is the same as 1 minus the probability of getting 10 or more. There are 36 ways the two dice can fall and 10 can be achieved in 3 ways (4&6, 5&5, 6&4), 11 can be achieved in 2 ways (5&6, 6&5) and 12 in 1 way (6&6). Thus the probability of getting 10 or more with 2 dice is (3+2+1)/36 = 6/36 = 1/6 So the probability of getting less than 10 is 1-1/6 = 5/6
1/8 is indeed greater than 1/10 and less than 1/3. Expressed as a decimal, 1/8 is equal to 0.125, 1/10 is equal to 0.1, and 1/3 is equal to 0.3 recurring (that is, 0.3333...)
Larger or equal to 0 but less than or equal to 1
It is 1/3
1/3
It is 1.
The probability to get a 12, with two dice, is 1/36.
Probability values are never negative and are always between 0-1 according to the definition Probability of A= Number of outcomes classified as A/Total number of possible outcomes
Since all numbers on a die are 6 or below, the probability is 6/6, 1, or 100%.
Probability can not be less than 0 or greater than 1. A probability of 0 means there is no possibility whatsoever of an event occurring. A probability of 1 means that the event is guaranteed to occur no matter what.
No. A probability of 1 means something will definitely happen. There cannot be a greater certainty than that, so probability cannot be greater than 1. 0 means there is no chance of something happening. You cannot have less than no chance of something happening. So a probability cannot be less than 0.
The probability of rolling a number less than 1 on a standard 6-sided die is zero. It will not happen.
The probability of rolling a number on a die is 1 out of the number of sides on the die. So, for a six sided die, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 4 or a 5 becomes 2/6 or 1/3. This is because there are two acceptable outcomes out of six. So when finding the probability of rolling a number less than x on a y sided die, it becomes x-1 / y. It is x-1 because the outcome is to roll less than the number, not less than or equal.
No. Probability must be between 0 and 1.
