When dealing with sets that have mutually disjointed (distinct) elements, IE they are under the system defined by Kolmogorov axioms, they cannot be negative. These are the probabilities normally dealt with.
However, when you deal with issues in quantum mechanics etc, where each element is not distinct, then negative probabilities arise and are used as an intermediary step.The end result will not contain a negative probability when dealing with such quasiprobability systems.

Does a negative z score yield a negative probability value?
no, z score can be negative but a probability is a always positive between 0 and 1.
Can probability be negative?
No, it can't.
Can probability outcomes be expressed as negative integer's?
The outcomes of a trial can be a negative integer but the probability of any outcome must be in the range [0, 1].
Can the experimental probability of an event be a negative number.if not why?
No; because probability can never be less than zero.
What is the probability of rolling a negative number on a number cube?
It depend how many negative numbers are written on the cube.
Can -0.51 be a probability?
No. The probability cannot be negative.
Can probability values be negative?
No. Probability values always have to be positive.
Does a negative z score yield a negative probability value?
no, z score can be negative but a probability is a always positive between 0 and 1.
Can probability be negative?
No, it can't.
Can a probability of some event be negative?
no
Why cant a negative fraction represent a probability?
Probability is a ratio of two counts: both of which MUST be positive. Their ratio cannot be negative.
Can the expected value of a discrete probability distribution be negative?
Yes it can be negative.
Can probability outcomes be expressed as negative integer's?
The outcomes of a trial can be a negative integer but the probability of any outcome must be in the range [0, 1].
Can probabilty be negative?
Yes it can. E.g there may be a probability it may rain tomorrow. See, negative. Negative probability is like an opinion of your own except probabilities aren't opinions, anyway you get what I mean.
Can the experimental probability of an event be a negative number.if not why?
No; because probability can never be less than zero.
Can a probability assume a negative value?
No. Probability is always represented as a positive ratio/fraction/percent.
If a p-value has a negative number will it be larger than 0.05?
If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.If a p-value is negative then there is something very seriously wrong - either with the probability model or your calculations.
