so is it not possible that a two prong outlet is grounded, regardless if the house was ever rewired for ground?

is it possible for a two prong outlets to be grounded? i can always get a tester to see, or just ask the landlord if the wiring has been setup for ground before

Hm I've seen sources that say it's only purpose is to secure the plug into a wall, it won't provide ground but I'm not a professional
