Question

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.

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 on

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.

i have no one to help me, and I need this question done by tonight. i will give medals or what ever you need, but i completely don't understand. its an short answer question, and any help given, will be help appreciated.

Answer 2

i guess ur probability tool is the coin...?

Answer 3

so assuming there are an equal number of Even to Odd numbered houses...
just keep flippin 3 coins, and the experimental probability that all 3 land on tails is how many times all 3 land on tails in 20 trials... i think...?

Answer 4

does that make sense @RebeleCo518 ?

Answer 5

yes it does, i got some help, but thank you anyways!

Answer 6

np, glad u got it out ;)
