Question

Mr. Piper is driving Peter, Roddy, and Scott home from school. All of them want to ride in the front seat. How can he make a fair decision about who rides in the front seat?

Answer 1

Answer:

Randomly selecting the kid will be a fair decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 kids to be driven by Mr. Piper - Peter, Roddy, and Scott

All of them want to ride in the front seat. The only way to choose randomly who will sit in the front seat is - to write their names on a paper chit and drawing the chit randomly. This way ensures everyone's equal chance of winning and loosing. This is a fair solution to the problem.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Roll a number cube. If it lands on 1 or 2 Peter wins. If it lands on 3 or 4, Roddy wins. If it lands on 5 or 6, Scott wins.

2) Put each person's name on a seperate piece of paper in a bag. Randomly draw the winning name.
