3. Which of the following experiments does NOT have equally likely outcomes?


Choose a number at random from 1 to 7.
The likelyhood of selecting any one of those digits is 1/7
----------------------
Toss a coin.
The probability of getting a "head" = probability of getting a "tail" = 1/2
----------------------
Choose a letter at random from the word SCHOOL.
The probabiloity of selecting "O" is twice the probability
of selecting S or C or H or L.
------------------------
None of the above
