probability

Question

Five out of six residents of Mayville have library cards. Which tool will best allow Darren to simulate this scenario and predict whether a randomly chosen resident has a library card?

Answer 1

As stated, a number cube or a single , regular, standard dice ( technically it is called a DIE)

 

You can be a six pack of any beverage and mark one can with a marker or paint,

put them in a bag and select randomly.

 

in ms excel, the formula is =randbetween( minVal, maxValue)

 for example =randBetween(1,100) will generate a random number between 1 and 100

You can say =randBetween(1,6)

or even set up some other type of scheme. For example you can generate a random 

number between 1 and 60 using =randBetween(1,60). If the result is 10 or less, then

that models, symbolizes, or represents a resident WITHOUT the library card; 

Answer 2

A number cube.
