Understanding Randomness in Selection Processes
Explore two problems related to modeling randomness - one involving choosing random students to represent a homeroom and the other simulating a cereal company's prize distribution. Learn how random number tables can be used for fair selections and calculate the average number of cereal boxes a customer needs to buy to get all prizes. Dive into the world of probability and simulations in an engaging way.

13-7 Modeling Randomness
Problem 1: Making Random Selections There are 28 students in homeroom. Four students are chosen at random to represent the homeroom on a student committee. How can a random number table be used to fairly choose the students? (Use chart on pg 901)
Problem 2: Making a Simulation A cereal company is having a promotion in which 1 of 6 different prizes is given away with each box. The prizes are equally and randomly distributed in the boxes of cereal. On average, how many boxes of cereal will a customer need to buy in order to get all 6 prizes
