Question

Probabilities have values between 0 and 1. Which statement is true for an event with a probability of zero?

a. There is a 50/50 chance of the event occurring.

b. It means that probability cannot be determined.

c. It is impossible for the event to occur.


d. It is certain that the event will occur.

Answer 1

c. It is impossible for the event to occur.

An event with a probability of zero means that it is impossible for the event to occur. In probability theory, a probability of zero indicates that the event has no chance of happening under the given conditions. Therefore, option c is the correct statement.
