Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Probability is between which two numbers?

A	0-100
B	5-10
C	0-1

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of an event always lies between 0 and 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Between 0 and 1 The probability of an event will not be less than 0. This is because 0 is impossible (sure that something will not happen). The probability of an event will not be more than 1. This is because 1 is certain that something will happen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Probability as a number lies between 0 and 1 . For example, if the chance of being involved in a road traffic accident was 0 this would mean it would never happen. You would be perfectly safe. A probability of 1 means that the event will happen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The probability of an event can only be between 0 and 1 and can also be written as a percentage.

Detailed explanation-5: -The probability of a certain event occurring depends on how many possible outcomes the event has. If an event has only one possible outcome, the probability for this outcome is always 1 (or 100 percent).
