Question

Question 2 (iv)
Which of the following experiments have equally likely outcomes? Explain.
A baby is born. It is a boy or a girl.

Answer 1

In the experiment, “A baby is born, It is a boy or a girl”. We know, in advance that the outcome can lead in one of the two possible outcomes – either a boy or a girl. We are justified to assume that each outcome, boy or girl, is likely to occur as the other. Thus, the outcomes boy or girl are equally likely.
