Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Probability can be expressed as a number between ____ and ____
A
0 and 100
B
0 and 10
C
0 and 1
D
-1 and 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Probabilities can be expressed as proportions that range from 0 to 1, and they can also be expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%. A probability of 0 indicates that there is no chance that a particular event will occur, whereas a probability of 1 indicates that an event is certain to occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Probability as a number lies between 0 and 1 . A probability of 1 means that the event will happen. If the probability of a road traffic accident was 1 there would be nothing you could do to stop it. It will happen. In practice probabilities associated with everyday life events lie somewhere between 0 and 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -6. Explain why the probability of any event is a number between 0 and 1. We can’t record more successes that the number of attempts, so the probability of any event will always be a fraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Probabilities are between zero and one, inclusive (that is, zero and one and all numbers between these values). P (A ) = 0 means the event A can never happen. P (A ) = 1 means the event A always happens. P (A ) = 0.5 means the event A is equally likely to occur or not to occur.

Detailed explanation-5: -This means a probability number is always a number from 0 to 1. Probability can also be written as a percentage, which is a number from 0 to 100 percent. The higher the probability number or percentage of an event, the more likely is it that the event will occur.
