Answer to Problem 1CQQ

No, it does not show the impossibility of event A.

Explanation of Solution

Probability is defined as the likelihood of an event occurring, which can be calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of event outcomes.

The probability can take any value between 0 and 1. The zero value of the probability shows that the chance of happening an event is too small and a value of 1 indicates that the chance of happening an event is too large.

In this case, the PA=0+ which means that the probability of the occurrence of event A is too small. It is not showing that event A will not happen.
