Solution

Just by luck egalitarianism is a view that inequalities in life prospects resulting from luck are unjust. It differentiates between inequalities that arise due to personal choices and those that arise due to luck.

  1. Entrepreneurs who invest more time and effort into their ventures earn a higher profit than those who don't in the same market conditions. This inequality is due to personal choices and effort, not luck.

  2. Professional athletes who consistently train harder and perform better secure more endorsements than their less committed peers. This inequality is also due to personal choices and effort, not luck.

  3. Authors who spend years researching and writing quality books receive more royalties compared to those who quickly produce low-quality work. This inequality is due to personal choices and effort, not luck.

  4. Students who attend extra classes by choice due to opportunity and score better in exams get admission to top-tier universities, while others don't. This inequality could be considered as arising from luck because the opportunity to attend extra classes might not be available to all students.

Therefore, the inequality that would not be considered by luck egalitarianism is the fourth one: students who attend extra classes by choice due to opportunity and score better in exams get admission to top-tier universities, while others don't.
