According to records from the last 50 years, there is a 2/3
chance of June temperatures being above 80° F. Azul needs
to find the probability that it will be above 80° F for 20 or
more days this June. There are 30 days in June.
If we use a number cube with the numbers 1-6 and assign
1-4 as a temperature above 80° F and 5-6 as a temperature
80° F or below, what is the BEST way to perform the simulation?
Keep track of every 1, 2, 3, or 4
rolled in 30 rolls. These represent
the number of days the
temperature is above 80° Fin
June. Repeat this 20 times.
Keep track of every 1, 2, 3, or 4
rolled in 30 rolls. These represent
the number of days the
temperature is above 80° F in
June. Repeat this 100 times.
Keep track of how many times
you roll a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in 30 rolls.
These will represent the days the
temperature is above 80° F in
June.
Keep track of how many times
you roll a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in 50 rolls.
These will represent the days the
temperature is aboe 80° F in
June.
