Values for probabilities must be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to 1.
Hence these two values could never represent probabilities.

Probability values must be between 0 and 1. A probability of zero means there is no chance and of one means the probability is a certainty.
Thus any number between zero and one is good, like 0.3 or 0.4.
Any number outside the range of 0 to 1 is unreal. Values like 2 or 3 do not represent probability values.
