Questions and Answers

What is the range of probability values?

The range of probability values is between 0 and 1.

What does a probability of 0 indicate?

A probability of 0 indicates the impossibility of the event.

What does a probability of 1 indicate?

A probability of 1 indicates the certainty of the event.

Explain the concept of probability in mathematics.

<p>Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.</p> Signup and view all the answers
