Question

The questions on a multiple choice test have four answer choices.

Which of the following models could you use to simulate the outcome of guessing the correct answers to a 50-question test?



(HINT: Remember to choose a model with the same number of possible outcomes as each test question.)

Group of answer choices

A. flipping a coin 50 times

B. spinning a spinner with 4 equal sections 50 times

C. rolling a 6-sided die 50 times

D. spinning a spinner with 50 equal sections four times

Answer 1

Answer: spinning a spinner with 4 equal sections 50 times

Explanation:

The models that one can use to simulate the outcome of guessing the correct answers to a 50-question test will be to spinn a spinner with 4 equal sections 50 times.

Flipping a coin 50 times is wrong since the coin only has two outcomes which are head and tail. Rolling a 6-sided die 50 times is also wrong.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
