The objective is to design a simulation to estimate the number of spins a player might have to make in order to hit 10.
Generate a series of random spins by using graphing calculator. Repeat this five times and keep a running total, but always subtract any spin that would make the sum greater than 10. Stop when the total equals 10. Report the number of spins.
Given:
Numbers on spinner: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
If spin makes total above 10, that spin is subtracted from the previous total.
Concept used:
Simulation is a technique to model random events to closely match actual real-word outcomes.
Explanation:
Use command “ randInt(1, 4)” in graphing calculator to generate a series of random spins. Repeat this five times and keep a running total, but always subtract any spin that would make the sum greater than 10. Stop when the total equals 10. Report the number of spins.
