out-of-state college?
A. s = 36

B. s = 90

C. s = 180

D. s = 360

S.IC.2 Decide if a specified model is consistent with
results from a given data-generating process, e.g.,
using simulation.
S.IC.5 Use data from a randomized experiment to
compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if
differences between parameters are significant.

 Design a Simulation

SOFTBALL Mandy is a pitcher on the softball

team. Last season, 70% of her pitches were strikes.
Design a simulation to estimate the probability that
Mandy’s next pitch is a strike.

Step 1
There are two possible outcomes: strike and no strike
(a ball). Use Mandy’s expectation of strikes to calculate
the theoretical probability of each outcome.
 Design a Simulation

Step 2
We can use the random number generator on a
graphing calculator. Assign the integers 1-10 to
accurately represent the probability data.

Step 3
A trial will represent one pitch. The simulation can
consist of any number of trials. We will use 50.
SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time.
Design a simulation that can be used to estimate the
probability that his bus is late.
SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time.
Design a simulation that can be used to estimate the
probability that his bus is late.
A. Use a random number generator for 50 trials
with integers 1 through 10. 1-6: the bus is late;
7-10: the bus is not late.
B. Use a random number generator for 50 trials with
integers 1 through 10. 1-6: the bus is not late;
7-10: the bus is late.
C. Flip a coin for 50 trials. heads: the bus is late;
tails: the bus is not late.
D. Roll a die for 50 trials. 1-4: the bus is late;
5-6: the bus is not late.

PIZZA A survey of Longmeadow High School

students found that 30% preferred cheese pizza,
30% preferred pepperoni, 20% preferred peppers
and onions, and 20% preferred sausage. Design
a simulation that can be used to estimate the
probability that a Longmeadow High School
student prefers each of these choices.

Step 1 Possible Outcomes

Theoretical Probability
Cheese
30%
Pepperoni
30%
Peppers and onions
 Design a Simulation by Using Random Numbers

Step 2 We assume a student’s preferred pizza type

will fall into one of these four categories.
Step 3 Use the random number generator on your
calculator. Assign the ten integers 0–9 to
accurately represent the probability data.
The actual numbers chosen to represent the
outcomes do not matter.
Outcome

Cheese 0, 1, 2
Pepperoni 3, 4, 5
Peppers and onions 6, 7
Sausage 8, 9

Step 4 A trial will consist of selecting a student at

random and recording his or her pizza
preference. The simulation will consist of
20 trials.
PETS A survey of Mountain Ridge High School
students found that 20% wanted fish as pets, 40%
wanted a dog, 30% wanted a cat, and 10% wanted a
turtle. Which assignment of the ten integers 0–9
accurately reflects this data for a random number
simulation?
