Question

A number is randomly selected from the list:
1,3,3, 6,6,6,8,8,8,8,10,10,10,10.
X = {3 is selected}
Y = {6 is selected}
X and Y are events.

• A. equally likely
• B. not equally likely
• C. exhaustive

Answer 1

The correct option is B not equally likely

Let's look at the list of numbers again. We have two 3s there and three 6s.
So if I pick a number randomly there are more chances that I will put my hand at a 6 when compared to 3. I may end up selecting 3. But chances of 6 being selected is more.
So X and Y are not equally likely.
