  1. A player makes 70% of free throws. Ari copies two shots with random digits, one digit per shot. Which plan estimates the chance of making both?

    • 0 to 6 mean made; two digits make a trial; count trials where either digit is 0 to 6
    • 0 to 6 mean made; one digit makes a trial; count trials where the digit is 0 to 6
    • 0 to 6 mean made; two digits make a trial; count trials where both digits are 0 to 6
    • 0 to 7 mean made; two digits make a trial; count trials where both digits are 0 to 7
  2. On each of two days there is a 30% chance of rain. Bo uses random digits, one digit per day. Which plan estimates the chance it rains on at least one day?

    • 0 to 2 mean rain; three digits make a trial; count trials where any digit is 0 to 2
    • 0 to 2 mean rain; two digits make a trial; count trials where either digit is 0 to 2
    • 0 to 2 mean rain; two digits make a trial; count trials where both digits are 0 to 2
    • 0 to 3 mean rain; two digits make a trial; count trials where either digit is 0 to 3
  3. A quiz has 3 true-or-false questions, and Esme guesses each. An even digit stands for a correct guess. Which plan estimates the chance of getting all 3 right?

    • Three digits make a trial; count trials where all three digits are 0 to 3
    • Three digits make a trial; count trials where all three digits are even
    • Two digits make a trial; count trials where both digits are even
    • Three digits make a trial; count trials where at least one digit is even
  4. One cereal box in 5 holds a prize. Jun copies opening boxes until a prize shows, using random digits. Which plan works?

    • 0 and 1 mean a prize; draw digits until a 0 or 1 comes up and count the digits used
    • 0 to 4 mean a prize; draw digits until a digit from 0 to 4 comes up and count the digits used
    • 0 and 1 mean a prize; draw exactly 5 digits each trial and count the prizes
    • 1 means a prize; draw digits until a 1 comes up and count the digits used
  5. Read this first

    Use this

    Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 38, 91, 57, 22, 64, 76, 40, 85, 13, 69, 50, 97, 06, 78, 35, 82, 49, 63, 70, 15.

  6. Kira copies two flips of a fair coin, 0 to 4 for heads. From the trials shown, what is the estimated chance of exactly one head, in simplest form?

  7. Use this

    Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 41, 93, 77, 36, 85, 22, 19, 57, 80, 24, 66, 91, 03, 78, 59, 28, 84, 46, 95, 12.

  8. A player makes 60% of shots; Luz uses 0 to 5 for a made shot. From the trials shown, what is the estimated chance of making exactly one of two shots, in simplest form?

  9. Use this

    Digits 0 to 2 are red. Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 74, 18, 53, 90, 25, 68, 31, 87, 46, 02, 79, 64, 95, 10, 58, 83, 27, 71, 49, 66.

  10. A bag has 3 red and 7 blue marbles. Milo draws at random twice, with the first put back. What is the estimated chance of exactly one red, in simplest form?

  11. Use this

    Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 65, 31, 89, 42, 07, 58, 94, 23, 76, 60, 18, 85, 47, 92, 39, 71, 54, 80, 16, 63.

  12. Each of two days has a 50% chance of rain; Noah uses 0 to 4 for rain. From the trials shown, what is the estimated chance that exactly one day has rain, in simplest form?

  13. Use this

    Digits 0 and 1 are part A, 2 and 3 part B, 4 and 5 part C, 6 and 7 part D, 8 and 9 part E. Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 04, 67, 31, 58, 92, 10, 77, 41, 25, 80, 66, 02, 38, 51, 99, 70, 14, 86, 43, 27.

  14. Pia copies two spins of a spinner with 5 equal parts. From the trials shown, what is the estimated chance of landing on the same part twice, in simplest form?

  15. Use this

    Digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the four parts, and other digits were skipped. Two digits make one trial, so 06 is the digits 0 and 6. Trials: 21, 43, 34, 12, 44, 31, 23, 42, 11, 32, 24, 41, 33, 13, 22, 14, 31, 43, 24, 12.

  16. Ren copies two spins of a spinner with 4 equal parts, using digits 1 to 4. From the trials shown, what is the estimated chance of the same part twice, in simplest form?

About this worksheet

Use random numbers to copy a chance situation. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can choose digits so they copy a chance, including chances that are not tenths (35%, 3/8) and a draw from a bag.
  • I can read a table of simulated trials and count the trials that meet a two-step event.
  • I can set up a simulation for a compound event: how many digits per trial, and what a trial must show to count.
  • I can estimate the chance of "exactly one", "the same twice" and "at least k tries" from trials.
  • I can judge a simulation plan, trust a long run more than a short run, and predict from a simulation.

Standard: 7.SP.C.8c

Words to know

simulation: Using a stand-in, like random digits, to copy a chance situation again and again.

random digits: Digits 0 to 9 where each digit is equally likely at every place.

trial: One run of the simulation, like two digits for two coin flips.

assign: Choose which digits stand for which outcome, so the chances match.

hit: A digit or trial that meets the event.

estimated chance: Trials that match ÷ all the trials. It is not exact.

Common mistakes

Your child gave the event one digit or number too many, so its chance came out a little too big.

Your child gave the digits to the opposite event.

Your child counted single digits that fit instead of whole trials.

What to say

Ask: how many digits make exactly the chance in the story?

Ask: which outcome do the chosen digits stand for?

Ask: what is one trial made of?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with use random numbers to copy a chance situation?

Ask: how many digits make exactly the chance in the story?
