Answer 1

Answer:

1. Flip a fair coin four times, with heads representing teenagers who prefer watching a movie at a theater and tails representing those who do not.

2. Pick a card from a deck of standard playing cards four times, with red suits representing those who prefer watching a movie at a theater and black suits representing those who do not.

4. Roll a six-sided die four times, with even numbers representing those who prefer watching a movie at a theater and odd numbers representing those who do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you need to do something 4 times, with each time having a 50/50 chance.

For 1, it flips the coin 4 times and a coin toss is 50/50

For 2, it pics 4 cards, and the deck of cards has a 50-50 chance of either red or black

For 3, it spins it only 3 times, so is wrong

For 4, it rolls the die 4 times, and even and odd is 50-50

For 5, 0-5 consist of 6 number, while 6-9 is only 4 numbers thus is not 50-50 so is wrong
