Type your response in the box. Jack and Mia are playing a game with pick-up sticks. Mia places a pile of 100 pick-up sticks on the table. Forty of the sticks are black, and the rest are brown. She randomly splits all the sticks into two piles—one on Jack’s left and one on his right. Mia tells Jack that there are 44 brown pick-up sticks in the pile on his right. Jack looks at the pile of pick-up sticks on his left and estimates that it contains 44 sticks in all. Now Mia blind folds Jack and asks him to choose a stick at random. Jack knows that if he selects a black pick-up stick, Mia will treat him to dinner at his favorite restaurant. If he picks a brown one, then he will treat Mia to dinner at her favorite restaurant. Mia gives Jack three options for selecting:

Choose randomly from the pile on the left.

Choose randomly from the pile on the right.

Push the piles back together and choose randomly from the entire pile.

Which option should Jack choose so that Mia treats him to dinner at his favorite restaurant? Explain your answer.
