Question

select all the correct answers. two friends worked together on an essay for a poetry contest and won; however, there is only one prize and it cannot be split. some methods of determining who receives the prize are given below. select all the fair methods for determining who receives the prize. - place both names in equal amounts into a hat and draw one without looking - ask a random friend to choose - roll a die and evaluate the outcome as either even or odd - throw a stone closest to an object - ask a stranger to flip a coin

Explanation:

Random selection methods are fair when all participants have an equal chance. Putting names in a hat and drawing one is a fair random - based method. Asking a random friend or a stranger to choose or flip a coin also provides an equal - probability outcome for all friends. Rolling a die and evaluating the outcome as even or odd can be fair if the number of friends is divisible by 2 (split into two equal groups). Throwing a stone closest to an object may not be fair as it depends on skill.

Answer:

A. Put both names in equal amounts into a hat and draw one without looking
B. Ask a random friend to choose
E. Ask a stranger to flip a coin
