Suppose 15% of the apples picked one afternoon are rotten.

The following simulations demonstrate how apples can be randomly chosen and then recorded as rotten or not rotten.

Which simulation best models the scenario?

Place 15 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 15, 3 read "rotten," and the rest read "not rotten".

Place 30 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 30, 3 read "rotten," and the rest read "not rotten".

Place 12 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 12, 3 read "rotten," and the rest read "not rotten".

Place 20 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 20, 3 read "rotten," and the rest read "not rotten".
