Question

Paul needs to randomly select one of his four children to go first in a board game. Which simulation tools could he use in this situation?1. a spinner divided evenly into 12 sections, with three sections each of four different colors. - Correct2. a bag containing 12 chips in two different colors, with six of each color.3. a standard deck of cards.4. two coins -Correct5. a six-sided number cube you can pick more than 1

Answer 1

Go for options 1 and option 3

Since the spinner is divided into 3 sections and there are four different colours, each child can then choose different colours.

Also, a standard deck of card has 4 suits which are: clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades.

Using two coins will yield only 2 winners because the possible outcome is either head or tail, so 2 of Paul's children will have to choose Head and the other 2 will select Tail. So this method is not effective
