Question

Which of the following is a random experiment?

1) Tossing a coin

2) Throwing a die

3) Drawing a card out from a deck of 52 cards

• A. 1
• B. 1 & 2
• C. 2 & 3
• D. All of them

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of them

In a random experiment, all possible outcomes of the experiment are known but the exact outcome of an experiment is not known.

Here, in the events 'throwing a die', 'tossing a coin', drawing a card out from a deck of 52 cards the possible outcomes are known.

i.e. throwing a die $\to$ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

tossing a coin $\to$ {Head, Tail}

Also, if we withdraw a card from a deck of 52 cards, it can be any card among the 52 cards.

But it is not possible to know which of these will come. So, all of these are random experiments.
