Can the probability of an event be 1.5? Explain.

i need help

Why not? Because the probability is always between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints.

0 represents impossibility

1 represents absolute certainty

The value 1.5 is larger than 1, so it is outside the range of 0 to 1.

Saying a probability of 1.5 is like saying "the chances of an event happening are 150%" but the largest the percentage can go is 100%, which represents absolute certainty.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
