Which of the following best describes the method used by the principal?

It's an unfair method because each student will not post the same outcomes.
It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.
It's a fair method because it's a limited number of students.
It's an unfair method because two or more students could get the same results.

Answer 1

Answer: It's an unfair method because two or more students could get the same results./ D

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

Answer 2

B. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Step-by-step-explanation :

According to the question , there are a total of 6 students to be selected by the principal.

So, the principal chose to roll two dice numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for the selected students and choose the one whose number is most repeated.

Since we have sis sides on a dice , 2 dice
`= 6*6=36`

The probability that a student will choose one number :
`(1)/(36)`

Thus, the selection of each student is given by the number

`(1)/(36)`

So,each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

So, the principal choose a fair method.
