An ice cream truck is passing out free ice cream to each child at a playground. The driver randomly hands out only chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. What is the probability that a certain child will receive either chocolate or strawberry ice cream?
(1) The probability that a certain child will receive chocolate ice cream is 1/10.
(2) The probability that a certain child will receive vanilla is 1/4.

I think since he is giving out randomly, then each will be equally likely event. Hence prob of chocolate = prob of vanilla = prob of strawberry.
Is this line of thinking incorrect?
