Question

Which of the following statements are wrong?

• A. When a coin is tossed, we always get a head.
• B. When a die is rolled, any number from 1 to 6 can show up.
• C. A card drawn from a deck of 52 cards is unique.
• D. When a fair die is rolled, the probability of getting 3 is more than that of getting 2 because 3 is greater than 2.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A When a coin is tossed, we always get a head.
D When a fair die is rolled, the probability of getting 3 is more than that of getting 2 because 3 is greater than 2.

When a coin is tossed either a head or a tail can show up. In the same way, a die rolled can show any number from 1 to 6. Similarly, all the cards in a deck are unique as they are a combination of classes and alpha-numerals and hence any card drawn will be unique.
All the outcomes when a fair die is rolled is equally likely.
