115% = 1.15 so cannot be a probability
because probabilities range from zero to one.

Which of the following cannot be considered a probability of an outcome? 0 23% 115% 1
PROBABILITY CAN NOT BE MORE THAN 1 OR 100% OR LESS THAN 0 OR 0% AT ANY TIME.
1 OR 100% MEANS CERTAINITY OF HAPPENING.
0 OR 0% MEANS CERTAINITY OF NOT HAPPENING.
HENCE P OF 115% IS WRONG
