Question
Students in an Algebra 1 class will perform the following experiment and then model it mathematically. They begin with 128 two-colored counters (a chip Part A
that has a yellow side and a red side) in a bag and complete the following steps:
Select the equation that best represents f(n), the number of yellow counters that land on yellow (and are put back into the bag) at the end of trial n,
when n 2 1?
1. Pour the counters from the bag onto the floor.
1(1) = 128(;)"

3. Record the trial number and the number of counters that landed on yellow.
4. Put the counters that landed on yellow back into the bag and leave the rest on the floor (off to the side).

Steps 1 to 4 constitute one trial of the experiment. Repeat trials until no counters land on yellow.
Part B
Using the equation you selected in part A, determine how many trials the students would need to run until exactly one counter lands yellow side up (and
is put into the bag)? Use mathematics to justify your response.
