To identify: Whether the strategies described result in a fair decision or not if there are 24 students in a math class, the teacher wants to choose 4 students at random to come to the board and work a math problem. She writes each student’s name on a slip of paper, places them in a hat, and chooses 4 without looking.
Yes, the strategy results in a fair decision.
Given information:
There are 24 students in a math class, the teacher wants to choose 4 students at random to come to the board and work a math problem. She writes each student’s name on a slip of paper, places them in a hat, and chooses 4 without looking.
Explanation:
Probability is used to examine and make fair decisions. To give probabilities to the results of a chance process, use a probability model.
An equitable game is one in which each player has an equal probability of winning.
The teacher selects 4 students without seeing, giving each candidate an equal chance of being chosen.
As a result, the choice reached using the provided procedures is fair.
