Please see below.
Explanation:
The probability associated with an event is the ratio
of the number of possible events (say A) favorable for the occurrence of the event,
to the number of all the events (say B) that are possible.
As the minimum value for A could be
and maximum value possible for A is B
the ratio i.e. the probability of happening of the event ranges from
