Answer:

the answer is D

Step-by-step explanation: here's why. probability is basically guessing by the way. so were trying to find the statement best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday. all you have to do is make 1 and 7 a fraction like this: 1/7^2 thats why its d hope this helps

Answer:

Randomly generate an integer from 1 to 7 two times, and the probability is 1/7 ^2

This is the statement that best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday.

There are 7 days in a week, so there are 7 choices but only 1 Monday. So, 1/7 is the probability that a person's birthday falls on a Monday.

1st person asked will have 1/7 probability.

2nd person asked will also have 1/7 probability

So, (1/7)² is the probability that both persons will have their birthdays on a Monday.
