A.
tossing five coins

B.
spinning a spinner with 5 equal parts 2 times

C.
spinning a spinner with 2 equal parts 5 times

Answer 1

Answer:

A. tossing five coins

C. spinning a spinner with 2 equal parts 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two equally likely outcomes for each kitten's gender: male or female.

A coin has two equally likely outcomes: heads or tails.  So tossing five coins can be used to simulate the probability.

A spinner with two equal parts also has two equally likely outcomes.  So spinning a spinner with two equal parts five times could also be used to simulate the probability.
