Question
Which of the following is not a random experiment?
Options
Tossing a coin
Rolling a dice
Choosing a card from a deck of 52 cards
Throwing a stone from a roof of a building
Solution
Throwing a stone from a roof of a building
Explanation:
Tossing a coin, rolling a die and choosing a card from a deck of 52 cards are the random experiments, as we don’t have an idea about the output of these experiments. But if we throw a stone from the roof of a building, we know the output, it will fail on the ground.
