Question

Tom is throwing darts at a target. In his last 30 throws, Tom has hit the target 20 times. You want to know the estimated probability that exactly
one out of the next three throws does not hit the target.
Categorize the simulations as correct or incorrect simulations of Tom's scenario.
Roll a six-sided die three times. The
numbers 1 to 4 represent hits, and
5 and 6 represent misses.
Spin a spinner with three equal sections
three times. On the spinner, one section
represents a miss and two sections
represent hits.
Generate a set of three numbers using
a number generator with numbers
between 0 and 9. The numbers 0 to 7
represent hits, and 8 and 9 represent
misses.
Generate a set of three numbers using
a number generator with numbers
between 0 and 8. The numbers 0 to 5
represent hits, and 6 to 8 represent
misses.
Spin a spinner with six equal sections
three times. On the spinner, four
sections represent hits and two
sections represent misses.

correct simulations | incorrect simulations

Answer 1

Each scenario can be used to simulate probability, and there are 3 correct scenarios and 2 incorrect scenarios in the list of options

How to categorize the simulations?

From the question, we have the following parameters:

• Number of throws = 30
• Number of hits = 20

This means that the probability of hit is:

P(Hit) = 20/30

Simplify

P(Hit) = 2/3

Using the complement rule,

P(Miss) = 1/3

The above means that the simulation that represents the situation must have the following parameters:

• P(Success) = 2/3
• P(Failure) = 1/3
• Number of experiments = 3

Using the above highlights, the correct scenarios are:

• Rolling a die three times with numbers 1 to 4 representing a hit
• Spinner a spinner of 3 equal sections three times with two sections representing hit
• Spinner a spinner of 6 equal sections three times with four sections representing hit
