Question

PLEASE IF ONLY SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS!Shelly delivers the weekly local paper to neighborhoods in her town. House numbers are even on one side of the street and odd on the other. Shelly delivers an equal number of papers to both sides of the street. Although she always aims for the front doorstep, Shelly typically misses on three of the tosses on her route each week. Design and conduct a simulation to estimate the probability that next week, Shelly's three misses will all be at odd-numbered houses.

Answer 1

a) Explain clearly your design of the simulation, including choice of probability tool and description of a single trial.
b) Conduct the simulation with twenty trials and record the results.
c) Calculate the experimental probability that all 3 of Shelly's missed papers will be at odd-numbered houses.

Answer 2

do you think you can help me do this problem?

Answer 3

Hello?

Answer 4

how many total houses are there?

Answer 5

thats all the information i have from this but i think you can deside the number of houses

Answer 6

the tool you could use is a standard die

Answer 7

but then you have to conduct 20 trials

Answer 8

how do you do that?

Answer 9

are you there?

Answer 10

hello?

Answer 11

Hint: You can set up the experiment using 3 coins to collect the data. Allow one side of the coin to represent Heads (evens) and one other side to represent Tails (odds).

Answer 12

sorry, well in that case, the probability of a miss being either odd/even is 1/2
thus
probability all odd = 1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/8

Answer 13

yeah a coin is good idea...or use single die and if you roll an even num that means the miss is an even house

Answer 14

so it could be like odd, even , odd

Answer 15

how do you do part b?

Answer 16

right, then record combination and repeat 20 times
you should find that you only get all odd about 2 or 3 times out of 20

Answer 17

so on each trial i would flip a coin three times

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

What did you get for the 20 trials?

Answer 20

haha im not doing the trials, you are
what do you get :)

Answer 21

thanks i finished it

Answer 22
