Question

Which of the following is an example of equally likely events?

• A. Rolling two dices.
• B. Tossing two coins simultaneously.
• C. Rolling a die.
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rolling a die.

When we roll a die, then the possible outcomes would be- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Total number of outcomes is 6, and when we roll a die any 1 of them can be our outcome.

P(1) = $\frac{1}{6}$ P(2) = $\frac{1}{6}$ P(3) = $\frac{1}{6}$

P(4) = $\frac{1}{6}$ P(5) = $\frac{1}{6}$ P(6) = $\frac{1}{6}$

All the possible outcomes have the same probability and hence they are equally likely outcomes.
