Answer

Answer:

C. Spin a spinner with four equal sections five times. On the spinner, one section represents vanilla and three sections represent other flavors.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze probability given

The probability that a person buys a vanilla cone is $\frac{1}{4}$, so the probability that a person does not buy a vanilla cone is $1 - \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$.

Step2: Match with spinner - simulation

We need to simulate 5 people's choices. A spinner with 4 equal - sections where 1 section is for vanilla and 3 for other flavors models the $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ probabilities correctly, and we spin it 5 times to simulate 5 people.
