Question

Which type of probability tool would not be an appropriate choice for a simulation that models 2 equally likely outcomes?

Standard die
coin
Standard deck of cards
a bag of red, green and blue marbles

Answer 1

How many outcomes should the sample space have? Choose from the following:
6, 2, 52 or unknown number?

Answer 2

Well, standard deck of cards?

Answer 3

I know, i m wrong :( i m such a dumb

Answer 4

2 ?

Answer 5

A standard deck of cards has 52 outcomes, so you are right saying that it would not be an appropriate choice.

Answer 6

You are right in saying that an appropriate choice would be a sample space with 2 possible outcomes. To answer the question, what are the choices with inappropriate sample spaces?

Answer 7

coin?

Answer 8

The coin would be an appropriate choice. But the question wants choices that are not appropriate.

Answer 9

So standard die?

Answer 10

yes, this must be the one, right?

Answer 11

Yes, the standard die is a choice that is not appropriate. The question is badly written in that it indicates that there is only one probability tool that is not appropriate. However there are three tools that are not appropriate (including the standard die). Can you see what the other two must be?

Answer 12

Thank u so so much @kropot72 !!! :) your too great !

Answer 13

You're welcome :)

Answer 14

Sorry. It is a little oddly worded, but it can be understood.

Standard die - 1,2,3 vs 4,5,6 - two equally likely outcomes
Coin - Heads vs Tails - two equally likely outcomes
Standard deck of cards - Red vs Black - two equally likely outcomes
a bag of red, green and blue marbles - Not Appropriate

Answer 15

It might be coin cuz i got wrong in standard die

Answer 16

@kropot72 it was wrong which i chose, forgot it

Answer 17

@tkhunny Your reasoning is correct. The correct answer is the bag of marbles.

Answer 18

Ok :) thank you so much guys ! :)
