Which of the following is not a probability of Mary scoring 85% in a mathematics test?
A
0.15
B
0.57
C
0.94
D
1.01
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
The probability not scoring 85% is = 1 - pro(scoring 85%)
= 1 - \(\frac{85}{100}\) = 1 - 0.85
= 0.15
not scoring would be less than 1. Hence option D is correct because the probability of an event cannot be more than 1.
