    A probability must be between zero and one

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are to explain why - 0.41 cannot be the probability of some event.

    Probability is the chance of occurring a particular event out of total possible events.

    If total possible events are n, and number of favourable outcomes for any event A is x then probability is x/n.

    Here note that both x and n cannot be negative.

    also x cannot exceed n.

    Probability can never exceed 1 and also can never be an integer except 0 or 1 as special cases.

    So the probability can never be negative and cannot exceed 1.

    So correct answer is

    A probability must be between zero and one
