Question

gustavo is in a contest where he will win one of four possible prizes. he creates a four - part spinner to represent the four prizes that he has an equal chance of winning: a video game system, a bicycle, a watch, and a gift card. he spins the spinner several times to demonstrate the likelihood of winning a certain prize. what is true about gustavos method of data collection and his data on the possible prizes? gustavo used an experiment where the data is qualitative. gustavo used an experiment where the data is quantitative. gustavo used a simulation where the data is qualitative. gustavo used a simulation where the data is quantitative

Explanation:

• Simulation vs Experiment: A simulation imitates a real - world situation. Here, spinning the spinner imitates the contest situation. An experiment is a more controlled, often in - lab situation with variables manipulated.
• Qualitative vs Quantitative Data: Qualitative data is non - numerical (like the type of prize: video game system, bicycle, etc.). Quantitative data is numerical (e.g., number of times a prize is “won” in a count, but the problem focuses on the type of prize data).

Answer:

Gustavo used a simulation where the data is qualitative.
