There are ten Academic Senate faculty in the Statistics Department at the University of California, Irvine: three females and seven males. Two faculty are to be selected without replacement to serve on a committee where one of those selected will serve as the head of the committee.
-How could you simulate this random process?
A) Roll a six-sided die twice. If the first roll is a one, then the committee head is female; if the second roll is a one, then the other committee member is also female.
B) Write male on seven cards and female on three cards. Select one card to be the committee head, and another card to be the other committee member.
C) Flip a coin twice. If the first flip lands on heads, then the committee head is female; if the second coin lands on heads, then the other committee member is also female.
