Terese makes 75% of her serves for volleyball. Based on her past successes, what is the probability that she will make 3 out of 4 serves in her next volleyball game. Select the method that could best be used to represent the probability that Terese will make 3 out of every 4 serves she makes in her next volleyball game.

Spinning a fair spinner with 4 sections 4 times would be the best method to represent the probability that Terese will make 3 out of every 4 serves she makes in her next volleyball game. Each spin of the spinner would represent one serve, with a 75% chance of landing on the "make" section and a 25% chance of landing on the "miss" section. By spinning the spinner 4 times, we can simulate Terese's serves and determine the probability of her making 3 out of 4 serves.
