Answers
Answer:
(i)
The given experiment is “A driver attempts to start a car. The car starts or does not start.” In the sample space, the happening of the car to start or not depends on many factors.
The given experiment does not have equally likely outcomes.
(ii)
The given experiment is “A player attempts to shoot a basketball. She/he shoots or misses the shot.” In the sample space, the happening of a person shooting a basketball or not depends on the angle of the ball and force on the ball. The probability varies from person to person.
The given experiment does not have equally likely outcomes.
(iii)
The given experiment is “A trial is made to answer a true-false question. The answer is right or wrong.” In the sample space, the happening of person getting right answers or not depends on the knowledge of the person. But even by guessing the answer, the person gets its answer right.
Thus, the given experiment has equally likely outcomes.
(iv)
The given experiment is “A baby is born. It is a boy or a girl.” In the sample space, the happening of baby to be a boy or a girl is totally uncontrollable. The option of a baby to have is two that is either a girl or a boy.
Thus, the given experiment has equally likely outcomes.
