Answer

We know that,

0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1

$\Big(\dfrac{7}{6}\Big)$ = 1.167. Since this is greater than 1, it cannot represent a probability.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

If the probability of happening of an event is p, then the probability of it not happening is:
p
p − 1
1 − p
$1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{p}\Big)$
