Which of the following does not represent probability of an event?
- 0
- 1
- 1·0001
- 0.99999
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The probability of an event lies between 0 and 1, inclusive. This means: \[ 0 \leq P(\text{Event}) \leq 1 \] Option (A) 0 is a valid probability, representing an impossible event.
Option (B) 1 is a valid probability, representing a certain event.
Option (D) 0.99999 is a valid probability, as it is still within the range [0, 1].
However, option (C) 1.0001 is not a valid probability because it exceeds the upper limit of 1.
The correct option is (C): \(1·0001\)

The probability of hitting the target by a trained sniper is three times the probability of not hitting the target on a stormy day due to high wind speed. The sniper fired two shots on the target on a stormy day when wind speed was very high. Find the probability that
(i) target is hit.
(ii) at least one shot misses the target.
Smoking increases the risk of lung problems. A study revealed that 170 in 1000 males who smoke develop lung complications, while 120 out of 1000 females who smoke develop lung related problems. In a colony, 50 people were found to be smokers of which 30 are males. A person is selected at random from these 50 people and tested for lung related problems. Based on the given information answer the following questions:
(i) What is the probability that selected person is a female?
(ii) If a male person is selected, what is the probability that he will not be suffering from lung problems?
(iii)(a) A person selected at random is detected with lung complications. Find the probability that selected person is a female.
OR
(iii)(b) A person selected at random is not having lung problems. Find the probability that the person is a male.
