Why can't the probability be greater then one?

A probability of 1 means something will definitely happen. There cannot be a greater certainty than that, so probability cannot be greater than 1.


Can a probability be greater than 1?

A probability can never be greater than 1.


Why can't the probability of an event occurring be greater than 1?

If probability becomes greater than one, then the uncertainty coefficient fluctuates and results in a terminal case.


What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3 and greater than 4 with one roll of a number cube?

The probability is zero. No number can be less than 3 and greater than 4.


Can a joint probability have a value greater than 1?

A joint probability can have a value greater than one. It can only have a value larger than 1 over a region that measures less than 1.


If two dice are thrown what is the probability that at least one of them shows a number greater than 3?

This is the same as 1 minus the probability that neither of them are greater than three. This is 1, minus the probability of getting greater than three, squared. Rolling higher than three has a 1/2 probability, so: P(at least one greater than 3) = 1 - (1/2)2 = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4


What is the probability of the mean being greater than 78?

A very high probability if your numbers are greater than 78.


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.


Find the probability of getting a number greater than 5 when a die is rolled one time?

The probability is 1/6.


What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die?

The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die is 0.


What is the Probability over 700?

Probability cannot be greater than 1.


What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 on one roll if a die?
