Which of the following cannot be the empirical probability of an event?102/55/2​

Answer»

Answer :

5/2

EXPLANATION :

The chances of getting a favourable outcome is CALLED probability and when probability is found as an outcome of historical data , it is called empirical probability .

The formula of probability of any outcome is given by :

\boxed{ \sf {\red{probability} =  \frac{favourable \: outcomes}{ \orange{total \: outcomes}}}}

Empirical probability is also called EXPERIMENTAL probability of an event and RELATIVE frequency .

The probability of any event MAY vary from 0 to 1 . Since , 5/2 is greater than 1 , it ranges out of the probability and cannot be a result of any probability .

While the other four : 1 , 0 and 2/5 lies in the range where probability can vary , so they can be a result of probability .
