9. Design a Simulation
SOFTBALL Mandy is a pitcher on the softball team. Last season, 70% of her pitches were strikes. Design a simulation to estimate the probability that Mandy’s next pitch is a strike.
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.
Example 1

10. 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.
Example 1

11. SCHOOL BUS Larry’s bus is late 60% of the time
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 : the bus is late; 7-10: the bus is not late.
B. Use a random number generator for 50 trials with integers 1 through : 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.
Example 1

12. Design a Simulation by Using Random Numbers
PIZZA A survey of Longmeadow High School students found that 30% preferred cheese pizza, 30% preferred pepperoni, 20% preferred peppers and onions, and 20% preferred sausage. Design a simulation that can be used to estimate the probability that a Longmeadow High School student prefers each of these choices.
Step 1 Possible Outcomes Theoretical Probability Cheese 30% Pepperoni 30% Peppers and onions 20% Sausage 20%
Example 2

13. Design a Simulation by Using Random Numbers
Step 2 We assume a student’s preferred pizza type will fall into one of these four categories.
Step 3 Use the random number generator on your calculator. Assign the ten integers 0–9 to accurately represent the probability data. The actual numbers chosen to represent the outcomes do not matter.
Outcome Represented by Cheese 0, 1, 2 Pepperoni 3, 4, 5 Peppers and onions 6, 7 Sausage 8, 9

14. Design a Simulation by Using Random Numbers
Step 4 A trial will consist of selecting a student at random and recording his or her pizza preference. The simulation will consist of 20 trials.

15. PETS A survey of Mountain Ridge High School students found that 20% wanted fish as pets, 40% wanted a dog, 30% wanted a cat, and 10% wanted a turtle. Which assignment of the ten integers 0–9 accurately reflects this data for a random number simulation?
A. Fish: 0, 1, 2 B. Fish: 0, 1 Dog: 3, 4, 5, 6 Dog: 2, 3, 4, 5 Cat: 7, 8 Cat: 6, 7 Turtle: 9 Turtle: 8, 9

21. Conduct and Summarize Data from a Simulation
Answer: Answers will vary, but should include a frequency table from the simulation and the corresponding bar graph.
Sample answer: P(Made Kick) = 22%, P(Missed Kick) = 78%. The experimental probability is very close to the theoretical probability of 18%.
