    negative 0.57

    1.21

    √2

    5/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability is the possibility of an event occurring and it takes the Formula:

    Probability of an event occurring = favourable outcome/possible outcome.

    Since favourable & possible outcomes of an event can only be positive integers and the possible outcome of an event is always more than its favourable outcome, then probability can only take positive values and values in between 0 and 1.

    From our given options, infering from the above explanation the figures that cannot be the outcome of a probability are:

    Negative 0.57 (-0.57)

    1.21

    5 divided by 3 (5/3)

    √2
