Gavin was on a fishing trip with his family on a lake. In the lake, 25% of the fish are bass. Gavin captures a fish, records whether it is bass or another species, and tosses the fish back into the lake. If he repeats this process 9 times, what is the probability that at least 4 of the fish are bass? Think about how you would simulate this situation.
Let's think about how you'd simulate this event step by step. Which chance experiment would fairly represent each time he captures a fish?
Toss a number cube and record the outcome.
Spin a spinner with 4 equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. Spin and record the outcome.
Flip a fair coin and record the outcome.
Nice!
What could the four sections represent in this situation?
Spin a spinner with 4 equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. Spin and record the outcome.
1 could represent bass and 2-4 could represent another species.
1-2 could represent bass and 3-4 could represent another species.
Excellent!
Now, think about how we could simulate the whole event. How many times would you need to spin to simulate 1 outcome?
Spin a spinner with 4 equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. Spin and record the outcome.
Spin
total times to simulate 1 outcome.
