Question

You have your notebook with you. We know it has 6 faces. Top, bottom, one thin one at left, one at right and front and back faces.
Now you throw the notebook. We have sample space S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} where these numbers represent each of the six faces of the book on which it may land (in final stable state) when you throw it.
All the outcomes in the sample space are equally likely.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Look, it’s that simple. Just like a match box when we throw it the chances of it landing on the broader face are more than they are for thinner ones. Same is the case with your notebook. All the faces are not of equal size.
So there are more chances that it will land on front or back faces.
So all outcomes are not having same chances of occurrence. Hence they are not equally likely.
