Determine whether the following method is a fair way (in terms of probability) to decide who must enlist in the military: During a war the U.S. government institutes a draft lottery in which each of the dates of the year (including Feb 29)) are loaded into identical capsules. The date in each capsule is printed randomly and packed into the capsule by a computer, and then all capsules are loaded into a barrel in no particular order, stirred, and poured into another barrel. The numbers are then drawn from the second barrel and individuals with birth dates corresponding to the date drawn from the barrel are drafted into the military. Is this a fair method in terms of probability? a) This is a fair method in terms of probability?
b) This is not a fair method in terms of probability?
c) Not enough information
