Answer:

B. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Step-by-step-explanation :

According to the question , there are a total of 6 students to be selected by the principal.  

So, the principal chose to roll two dice numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for the selected students and choose the one whose number is most repeated.

Since we have sis sides on a dice , 2 dice [tex]= 6\times6=36[/tex]

The  probability that a student will choose one number :[tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Thus, the selection of each student is given by the number

[tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

So,each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

So, the principal choose a fair method.
