Which of the following cannot be a valid assignment of probabilities for outcomes of sample space $S = \{\omega_{1}, \omega_{2}, \omega_{3}, \omega_{4}, \omega_{5}, \omega_{6}, \omega_{7}\}$?
Outcome $\omega_{1}$ $\omega_{2}$ $\omega_{3}$ $\omega_{4}$ $\omega_{5}$ $\omega_{6}$ $\omega_{7}$ Probability $-0.1$ $0.2$ $0.3$ $0.4$ $-0.2$ $0.1$ $0.3$
| Outcome | $\omega_{1}$ | $\omega_{2}$ | $\omega_{3}$ | $\omega_{4}$ | $\omega_{5}$ | $\omega_{6}$ | $\omega_{7}$ |
| Probability | $-0.1$ | $0.2$ | $0.3$ | $0.4$ | $-0.2$ | $0.1$ | $0.3$ |
- AThe assignment is valid.
- BThe assignment is invalid because probabilities are negative.
- CThe assignment is invalid because the sum of probabilities is not $1$.
- DThe assignment is invalid because the number of outcomes is $7$.
