Please Help :) Will medal :D The following simulations demonstrate how coupons can be randomly chosen and then recorded as 50% off or 10% off. Out of 150 coupons, 15 are for 50% off. Which answer is the the best simulation for this scenario? Place 15 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 15, 3 read "50% off," and the rest read "10% off." Flip a fair coin 20 items. Let heads represent 50% and tails represent 10% off. Of the 20 flips, 3 lands on heads, and the rest of the flips land on tails. Place 30 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 30, 3 read

Does the original question mention size anywhere in it? Or even better, does size have anything to do with the likely hood of a something occurring more often?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

so 15/150 is?

0.1= 10%

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

so you need to chose a choice with 10% representing 50% coupons
