For Exercises 1–6, describe a model that can be used to simulate the givensituation.
1. Players at a carnival gamewin about 40% of the time. Describe amodel that could be used to simulatethe outcomes of playing this game. / 2. On average, 66% of the daysin Seattle, Washington, are cloudy orrainy. Describe a model that you coulduse to simulate this situation.3. An ice cream parlor offers 12flavors of ice cream. Describe a modelthat could be used to simulate randomlyselecting a certain type of ice cream. / 4. A game requires drawing tileswith letters A through E for each of 8slots to determine the winning code.Describe a model that could be used tosimulate the selection of the number
5. A teacher wants torandomly choose 4 students to answera series of questions. If there are 20students in the classroom, describe amodel that the teacher could use tosimulate choosing these 4 students. / 6. A cereal company is placing oneof 6 different tickets into its boxes ofcereal. If each ticket is equally likely toappear in a box of cereal, describe amodel that could be used to simulatethe tickets that you would find in 50boxes of cereal.
1. A restaurant offers six kids-meal prizes. The prizes are placed in the meals at random. Describe a model that could be used to simulate selecting one of the prizes.
2. A pizza parlor offers three different types of crust. Each crust type is equally likely to be ordered. Describe a model that could be used to simulate this situation. Based on your simulation, how many customers must order a pizza in order to sell all possible combinations?
3. A weather forecaster has predicted a 25% chance of precipitation for the next 4 days. Describe a model that could be used to determine the experimental probability of rain all 4 days.
4. Fifty percent of the clothes a local charity receives are coats. Describe a model that could be used to determine the experimental probability of the charity receiving coats during the next 10 donations.
