Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A Randomized Method will be the one where you ARE NOT SURE who are you picking. Being sure, means that the method is NOT RANDOMIZED.

• Option A is a randomized method since you don't know who will be the top 2 cards.
• Option B is a sure method where you definitely know which 2 people you are picking.
• Option C is a randomized method where you don't know who will you pick up.
• Option D is definitely a randomized method because it relies on random number generator and anyone can be picked.

Clearly option B is the correct choice.
