Solution

The correct option is B deterministic
Looks like a random experiment, right? But guys it’s not a random experiment. Remember what we discussed about a random experiment? For an experiment to be called a random experiment there should be more than one possible outcomes. If only one outcome is possible then it’s a deterministic experiment. In the above experiment only one outcome is possible which is tails. Because both the sides of the coin are tails itself. So, it’s not a random experiment.
