ANSWER:Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
The probability of an event must satisfy two conditions.
- All the probabilities must lie between 0 and 1.
That is, 0 < P < 1.
- The sum of the probabilities must be 1.
That is, .
a).
The given numbers are
0, -0.01, 0.75, 0.41, 1.34.
Here 0, 0.75 and 0.41 are the probability events. -0.01 and 1.34 are not.
