D. Equally divided five section spinner with three colors.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is D. Equally divided five section spinner with three colors. A uniform probability model is one where each outcome has an equal probability of occurring, and in a spinner with equally divided sections, each section has an equal chance of landing. This is an example of a uniform probability model.
why
In a uniform probability model, all possible outcomes have an equal chance of occurring. In the case of a spinner with equally divided five sections, each section has an equal probability of being landed on. Since each section is equally likely to be the outcome, this is a uniform probability model. It is important to note that the other options (drawing a card, selecting a sock, and selecting a ball) do not have equally likely outcomes, since there are different numbers of cards, socks, and balls of different colors. Therefore, these options do not represent a uniform probability model.
