Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which of the given numbers could be the probability of an event, we need to understand the range of values that a probability can take. The probability of an event is always a number between 0 and 1, inclusive. This means that the possible values for a probability are .
Let's evaluate each number:
- - This is within the range [0, 1].
- - This is less than 0, so it cannot be a probability.
- - This is within the range [0, 1].
- - This is greater than 1, so it cannot be a probability.
- - This is within the range [0, 1].
- - This is within the range [0, 1].
So, the numbers that could be a probability of an event are: .

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:
- What is the definition of probability?
- How do you calculate the probability of a single event?
- What is the probability of an impossible event?
- What is the probability of a certain event?
- Can the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes of an experiment exceed 1?
Tip: Remember that probabilities are always between 0 and 1, inclusive. This range represents impossibility (0) to certainty (1).
