The table shows the number of grade 7 and grade 8 students on the student council at Jeremy’s school. Grade Levels of Student Council Members Number of StudentsGrade 717Grade 834Every day, two student council members are randomly chosen to read the morning announcements. Students cannot be chosen more than once to read the announcements. Jeremy designed a simulation for the selection of the students and gathered data to predict the probability that a seventh grade student will be chosen. In Jeremy’s simulation, he rolls two number cubes in each of 40 trials. In each trial, a cube landing on 1 or 2 represents a student in grade 7 being selected, and a cube landing on 3, 4, 5, or 6 represents a student in grade 8. Which statement best describes the flaw in Jeremy’s model?
Vinay constructed this spinner based on the population of teachers at his school.According to Vinay’s model, what is the probability that he will have a male history teacher two years in a row?





Twelve of the last 16 winners of the school science fair have been seventh grade students. Mona placed 3 red marbles and 1 green marble in a bag to create a simulation to predict whether future science fair winners will be seventh graders. According to Mona’s model, what is the probability that the next 4 winners will all be seventh grade students?




Ava surveyed the students in her homeroom about their footwear. She found that 12 students were wearing sneakers, 4 students were wearing boots, and 6 students were wearing dress shoes. She used this data to create a tool that would predict the footwear of randomly chosen students in the school. She placed 2 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 6 yellow marbles in a bag, and selected one marble, with replacement, for each student.What is the predicted footwear of three randomly chosen students if Ava drew two yellow marbles and 1 blue marble?
Reese is using a coin to predict the gender of the puppies born to her dog. According to Reese’s model, which is the probability that a litter of 5 puppies will be all males?




The students at Southern Junior High School are divided into four homerooms. Benjamin just moved into the school district and will be randomly assigned to one homeroom. Which methods can be used to simulate this situation? Select three options..
Twelve of the 20 students in Ms. Sarno’s homeroom are female. Each month, Ms. Sarno randomly selects a student to act as “teacher’s helper.”Which simulation best models the selection of female “teacher’s helpers” for January, February, March, and April?
April and Sanjay are both using tools to simulate the probability that a family with three children will have exactly one girl. April is using a coin, with tails up representing a boy and heads up representing a girl. She flipped the coin three times. Sanjay rolled a number cube three times with odd numbers representing a boy and even numbers representing a girl.Which statement best describes their simulations?
