I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!

Answer:

The correct answer is D) The number generator is fair. It picked the approximate percentage of red lollipops most of the time.

Explanation:

We can tell this because the average of red lollipops in the trial is 8. This gives us a 80% average.

7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 80

80/10 = 8

8/10 = 80%
