The probability expressed as a percentage of a particular occurrence can never be
a. less than 100
b. less than 0
c. greater than 1
d. anything but a whole number

Solution:

We know that

Probability of an event E lies between 0 and 1

0 ≤ P (E) ≤ 1

If probability is expressed as a percentage it is greater than 0

So the probability can never be less than 0

Therefore, the probability expressed as a percentage of a particular occurrence can never be less than 0.
