Gustavo is in a contest where he will win one of four possible prizes. He creates a four-part spinner to represent the four prizes that he has an equal chance of winning: a video game system, a bicycle, a watch, and a gift card. He spins the spinner several times to demonstrate the likelihood of winning a certain prize.

Gustavo is using a spinner to model the contest’s four equally likely prizes, so this is a simulation rather than an experiment involving the actual contest. The outcomes are prize names—video game system, bicycle, watch, or gift card—not numbers, so the data is qualitative. The correct choice is “Gustavo used a simulation where the data is qualitative.”
