Karen believes in the "gambler's fallacy."  This is the erroneous belief that if you flip a coin, for instance, and get five heads in a row, you then have a greater than 50% chance to get a tail on the next flip of the coin.  The best way to modify this misconception is to:
A) tell Karen that there is an independent chance to get a head or a tail each flip.
B) give Karen a coin and some recording paper and flip coins to collect data.
C) provide Karen with more instruction about the laws of probability.
D) tell Karen she holds a misconception and sometime later she may be ready to remedy her knowledge.
