Question

Select the events from the following options.

• A. Rolling a die
• B. Tossing a coin
• C. Head and tail
• D. Drawing an ace from a pack of $52$ cards

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Drawing an ace from a pack of $52$ cards

A trial with a clearly defined outcome is an event.

Rolling a die has the outcomes as $1,2,3,4,5$ and $6$, and they are clearly defined. Hence, rolling a die is an event.

Tossing a coin has the outcomes as head and tail, and they are clearly defined. Hence, tossing a coin is an event.

Head and tail are the outcomes obtained when we toss a coin. Hence, head and tail are not an event.

Drawing an ace from a pack of $52$ cards has the outcome as either it would be an ace or some other card, and they are clearly defined. Hence, drawing an ace from a pack of $52$ cards is an event.

Therefore, option (a.), (b.) and (d.) are the correct answers.
