Solution
`bb(15/10)` or 1.5
Explanation:
The probability of any event is Probability = `"Favorable outcomes"/"Total outcomes"`
We know that
0 < Favourable outcomes > Total outcomes
0 < `"Favorable outcomes"/"Total outcomes"` < 1
0 < Probability < 1
It means the probability of any event lies between 0 to 1.
Since 1.5 > 1, therefore cannot represent a probability.
