Answer:

d. Some customers had more than one drink.

Explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

Given - Hannah wants to simulate whether customers will choose a small, medium, or large drink, or no drink at a fast food restaurant. She decides to use digits from a random number table to represent the drink option a customer will order (0=no drink, 1=small drink, 2=medium drink, 3=large drink, ignore digits 4-9)

To find - Why does this NOT model the situation?

a. The choices are not equally likely to occur.

b. Some of the digits were ignored.

c. The choice are independent of each other.

d. Some customers had more than one drink.

Solution -

The correct option is - d. Some customers had more than one drink.
