46Repeat the simulation thirty times.
c.
Use the simulation to find the experimental probability that a
d.
person who buys 12 boxes of cereal will get all 8 cards.
EXERCISES
A hypothesis is a statement to be tested that describes what you
1.
expect to happen in a given situation. State your hypothesis as to
the results of repeating the simulation in Activity 1 more than 50
times. Then test your hypothesis.
Explain how you could use a graphing calculator to simulate
2.
tossing a coin 40 times.
CLOTHING
Rodolfo must wear a tie when he works at the mall
3.
on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each day, he picks one of his
6 ties at random. Create a simulation to find the experimental
probability that he wears a different tie each day of the weekend.
TOYS
A fast food restaurant is putting 3 different toys in their
4.
children’s meals. If the toys are placed in the meals at random,
create a simulation to determine the experimental probability
that a child will have all 3 toys after buying 5 meals.
SCIENCE
Suppose a mouse is
5.
placed in the maze at the right.
If each decision about direction
is made at random, create a
In
Out
simulation to determine the
probability that the mouse will
find its way out before coming
to a dead end or going out
the In opening.
WRITE A PROBLEM
Write a real-life problem that could be
6.
answered by using a simulation.
For Exercises 7–9, use the following information.
Suppose you play a game where there are three containers, each
with 10 balls numbered 0 to 9. One number is randomly picked
from each container. Pick three numbers each between 0 and 9.
Then use the random number generator to simulate the game.
Score 2 points if one number matches, 16 points if two numbers
match, and 32 points if all three numbers match. Notice that
numbers can appear more than once.
Play the game if the order of the numbers does not matter. Total
7.
your score for 10 simulations.
Now play the game if order of the numbers does matter. Total
8.
your score for 10 simulations.
With which game rules did you score more points?
