Mathematical Practices
1 Make sense of problems.
2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3 Construct viable arguments.
4 Model with mathematics.
Content Standards
S.IC.2 Decide if a specified model is consistent with
results from a given data-generating process, e.g.,
using simulation.
S.IC.5 Use data from a randomized experiment to
compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if
differences between parameters are significant.
You calculated simple probability.
Step 1
There are two possible outcomes: strike and no strike
(a ball). Use Mandy’s expectation of strikes to calculate
the theoretical probability of each outcome.
Design a Simulation
Step 2
We can use the random number generator on a
graphing calculator. Assign the integers 1-10 to
accurately represent the probability data.
Step 3
A trial will represent one pitch. The simulation can
consist of any number of trials. We will use 50.
SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time.
Design a simulation that can be used to estimate the
probability that his bus is late.
SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time.
Design a simulation that can be used to estimate the
probability that his bus is late.
A. Use a random number generator for 50 trials
with integers 1 through 10. 1-6: the bus is late;
7-10: the bus is not late.
B. Use a random number generator for 50 trials with
integers 1 through 10. 1-6: the bus is not late;
7-10: the bus is late.
C. Flip a coin for 50 trials. heads: the bus is late;
tails: the bus is not late.
D. Roll a die for 50 trials. 1-4: the bus is late;
5-6: the bus is not late.

Answer:
SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time.
