The cards are numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Total number of outcomes = 7

Number of odd numbers (favourable outcomes) = 4

Number of even numbers (favourable outcomes) = 3

Probability=Number of favourable outcomesTotal Number of outcomes

Probability of getting odd number
=Number of odd numbered cardsTotal number of cards;
=47

Probability of getting even number
=Number of even numbered cardsTotal number of cards
=37

Probabilities are different. Hence, the statement is false.
