Solve the problem.A teacher believes that 10% of those who register for his graduate seminar class in European history end up dropping the class. He accepts 27 students for the class which has a limit of 24. If he does this in 10 consecutive semesters, in how many of those semesters will the number of students exceed the limit of 24? Tell how to simulate an experiment to determine the answer.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

One possible solution: Use the command randInt(0, 9, 27) to generate 27 random numbers from 0 to 9. Let 0 represent a student who drops the class and 1-9 represent a student who does not drop. Do this 10 times and count how many of the 10 strings have fewer than three 0s (representing semesters where fewer than three students drop the class).
