into exactly two parts.
 Method : Arrange the data in =

the total number of observations be n.

Sol. Let the missing number be x.
Then sum of the numbers = th value = 3rd

experiments.
Outcome : When a random experiment is

Equally Likely Outcomes :

In a random experiment when all the
outcomes have equal chance to occur or
they have equal probability then the
outcomes are called equally likely.
For example :
(i) Getting head or tail on tossing a coin
are equally likely outcomes.
So each have half-half chance to occur.
