Can a probability be more than 1 or less than 0?
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.
When probability is less then 0 what happen?
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.
Why can't probability be less than 0?
Because probability is measured from zero to one, where zero means something cannot happen and one meaning it will definitely happen. This can also be looked at as there being a 0% chance or 100% chance of it happening. So obviously there can not be less of a chance than it definitely not happening, so it cannot be less than zero.
Can the probability be more than 1 or less than 0?
No, all probabilities are given from a scale of 0 to 1. 0 represents 0% and 1 represents a 100% probability.
Why 1.34 cannot be the probability of some event?
1.34 cannot be the probability of an event because the range of possibility is 0 to 1. 0 is an impossible event and 1 is a certain event. There cannot be a possibility higher than certain so 1.34 is not possible.
