Simulations
For Exercises 1–6, describe a model that can be used to simulate the given situation.
1. Players at a carnival game win about 40% of the time.
Describe a model that could be used to simulate the
outcomes of playing this game.
2. On average, 66% of the days in Seattle, Washington,
are cloudy or rainy. Describe a model that you could
use to simulate this situation.
3. An ice cream parlor offers 12 flavors of ice cream.
Describe a model that could be used to simulate
randomly selecting a certain type of ice cream.
4. A game requires drawing tiles with letters A through E
for each of 8 slots to determine the winning code.
Describe a model that could be used to simulate the
selection of the number
5. A teacher wants to randomly choose 4 students to
answer a series of questions. If there are 20 students in
the classroom, describe a model that the teacher could
use to simulate choosing these 4 students.
6. A cereal company is placing one of 6 different tickets
into its boxes of cereal. If each ticket is equally likely
to appear in a box of cereal, describe a model that
could be used to simulate the tickets that you would
find in 50 boxes 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.
