Two terms in the question clash...Random and Chance as some would argue that they are opposed
Not true; the opposite of 'random' is 'biased'. I suppose you could get bogged down in a argument about the validity of the question. The concepts of 'choose' and 'random' could be open to discussion. The question is poorly worded in that it does not specify that the answer chosen need to be one of the four offered. The criterion for a random selection is that each option has equal chance of being selected. A truly random selection could be made by blindfolding the sampler and asking them to choose a card with each of the 4 numbers written on them. But if we make the assumption that one must choose from the four listed options, it still remains that the chance of choosing an option in which its corresponding value represents its probability of selection is 0. The question can be answered. I'll shut up now. :tearhair:
