Simulations to Estimate Probabilities Answers

A restaurant owner has found that 80% of her customers return to the restaurant within two weeks. She wants to create a tool that will simulate the habits of her customers and allow her to predict the probability that three of the next four customers to visit her restaurant will return within two weeks.Which spinner simulation uses an appropriate device and has the correct number of trials?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?
