Dr. Miller explained that while the pattern is interesting it is best explained by random events.

C. random events.

Explanation:

The flipping of a coin is considered as a random process. The coin produces either a head or a tail while flipping it. This is known as a random event.

Dr. Miller conducted an experiment with two of his students. The students flipped a coin and the results are noted each time. One student had five heads in a row, while the other student had no pattern during tossing.

Random events are best observed by Dr. Miller.
