Solution

The incorrect statement about probability is:

D) It is the collection of several experiments

Explanation: Probability is not a collection of several experiments. Instead, it is a measure of the likelihood that a given event will occur. This measure is always a value between 0 and 1 (Option A), where 0 indicates that the event will not occur and 1 indicates that the event will definitely occur. Probability can be expressed as a decimal or a fraction (Option B), and a value near 0 means that the event is not likely to occur (Option C).
