(ii) and (iv) can’t be the probability of occurrence of an event. So, (ii) and (iv) are the answers to our question. 

Explanation: We know that,

0 ≤ probability ≤ 1 i.e. probability can vary from 0 to 1(both are inclusive) So, (i) 0 can be possible as 0 ≤ probability ≤ 1

(ii)    \(-\frac{3}{4}\)  is not possible as it is less than 0 

(iii)    \(\frac{3}{4}\)  is possible as 0 ≤ probability  ≤ 1

(iv) \(\frac{4}{3}\) is not possible as it is greater than 1 

Conclusion:   \(\frac{3}{4}\)  and   \(-\frac{3}{4}\) are the probabilities that cannot occur.
