JAMIA 2026 — Mathematics PYQ
JAMIA | Mathematics | 2026Which of the following can be the probability of an event?
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
-1/7
- B.
5/2
- C.
0.83
(Correct Answer) - D.
None
0.83
Explanation
1. Fundamental Axiom of Probability:
The probability P(E) of any arbitrary event E must satisfy the strict constraint boundary range:
0≤P(E)≤1
A probability can never be negative (P(E)≥0).
A probability can never exceed absolute certainty (P(E)≤1).
2. Evaluate options:
Option (a) −1/7: Less than 0. (Invalid)
Option (b) 5/2=2.5: Greater than 1. (Invalid)
Option (c) 0.83: Lies between 0 and 1. (Valid)
Correct Answer
Option (c) 0.83
