• 5
• 9
• 7
• 10

Multiple Choice

Based on this simulation, what is the probability that exactly 2 kittens will be chocolate brown?

• 1/4
• 1/2
• 1/3
• 2/3

Multiple Choice

Based on this simulation, what is the estimated probability that at least 2 kittens will be chocolate brown?

• 0.75
• 0.5

Multiple Choice

What is the outcome of trial number 5?

• gggwg
• gwwgg
• wwggg
• gggww

Multiple Choice

How could Priya increase the accuracy of the simulation? Here is a table with the results.

• Reduce the number of trials
• Ignore the results of previous trials
• Conduct more trials and refine simulation parameters.
• Use random parameters without testing

Multiple Choice

A team has a 75% chance to win each of the 3 games they will play this week. Clare simulates the week of games by putting 4 pieces of paper in a bag, 3 labeled “win” and 1 labeled “lose.” She draws a paper, writes down the result, then replaces the paper and repeats the process two more times. Clare gets the following result: win, win, lose. What can Clare do to estimate the probability the team will win at least 2 games?

• 0.5
• 0.25
• 0.875
• 0.578125

Multiple Choice

Based on the simulation results of kicking 5 field goals with a 72% probability of making each one, estimate the probability that 3 or more kicks are made.

• 0.5000
• 0.6200
• 0.8500
• 0.7594

Multiple Choice

Based on the simulation results, what is the estimated probability that there will be at least 15 heads in a row when a computer simulates flipping a coin 100 times?

• 0.5
• 0.1
• 0
• 1
