So, we want something that also has 9 equally likely outcomes. What do we know about each of the choices you have?

anonymous · Answer

Deck of cards has 52 out comes 
A coin has two

So i think the answer is spinner

Right. A deck of cards, we can do a few "clever" things with, like not pay attention to suit, or pay attention to only suit, to make different numbers of "equally likely choices."

A standard die has 6 (there are also some tricks to make it usable on other numbers of possibilities.

A spinner, we can decide how many things we want, and we can even change their weights. Of your choices, I'd agree, a spinner would be the most ideal.

Likewise, a deck of cards if usually used for conditional probability, if the cards are not replaced
