Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Going through the choices will help determine which option best simulates the random selection of a voter.

Flip a coin three times, and assign outcomes as follows: HHH, HHT, or HTH = Nava; HTT, THH, or THT = Jensen; TTH = Moretti, TTT = Chang.

Given that it is a random selection of the 4 candidates, it means the probability of choosing either one of them is equivalent. From the option, it can be found that Nava and Jensen have a higher chance of being voted than Moretti and Chang, which would not fit the criteria of being randomly selected.

Roll a number cube, and assign outcomes as follows: 1 or 2 = Nava, 3 or 4 = Jensen, 5 = Moretti, 6 = Chang.

Again, Nava and Jensen have a higher chance of being voted than Moretti and Chang. Therefore, this is not the correct option to simulate random selections of the 4 candidates.

Roll a number cube, and assign outcomes as follows: 1, 2, or 3 = Nava, 4 = Jensen, 5 = Moretti, 6 = Chang.

Nava has a higher chance of being voted, so this option does not fit the stimulation.

Flip a coin twice, and assign outcomes as follows: HH = Nava, HT = Jensen, TH = Moretti, TT = Chang

In this scenario, all 4 candidates have an equal chance of being voted, so this option would best simulate the random selection of a voter from the city.

Hope this helps :)
