Question

Which of the following is an example of a random experiment?

• A. Selecting a card from a pack of playing cards.
• B. Measuring the weight of a person.
• C. Finding the length of your pencil box.
• D. Throwing two coins together.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Selecting a card from a pack of playing cards.
D Throwing two coins together.

A random experiment in probability is an experiment the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.

When you select a card from a pack of playing cards, you can't say with certainty which card you will get.

Also, when you toss or throw two coins together, you can't say with certainty what will be the result.

Hence, A and D are the examples of a random experiment.
