Hello, I need help with this problem. 

### Probability Representation

**Task:** Determine which of the following numbers could not represent the probability of an event.

- List of numbers: 
  - \(0\)
  - \(0.002\)
  - \(-0.7\)
  - \(30\%\)
  - \(\frac{330}{1225}\)
  - \(\frac{25}{12}\)

---

**Instructions:** Select all that apply.

- **A.** \(30\%\)
- **B.** \(0\)
- **C.** \(0.002\)
- **D.** \(\frac{330}{1225}\)
- **E.** \(\frac{25}{12}\)
- **F.** \(-0.7\)

**Explanation:**

Probabilities must be between 0 and 1 (inclusive), or between 0% and 100% when expressed as a percentage. For example:

- A probability of \(0\) indicates impossibility.
- A probability of \(1\) or \(100\%\) indicates certainty.
- Probabilities cannot be negative or greater than 1.00.
