A group consists of 12 persons, of which 3 are extremely patient, 6 are extremely honest and the rest are extremely kind. A person from the group is selected at random. Assuming that each person is equally likely to be selected, find the probability of selecting a person who is (i) extremely patient (ii) extremely kind or honest. Which of the above values you prefer more?

Given, total number of persons = 12
So, the number of possible outcomes of selecting a person = 12
(i) Group of extremely patient persons = 3
Then, probability of the person being patient = 3/12 = 1/4
(ii) Group of extremely honest persons = 6
Group of extremely kind persons = 12 - 3 - 6 = 3
Then number of persons who are extremely honest or kind = 6 + 3 = 9
Then, probability of the person being honest or kind = 9/12 = 3/4
