Priya’s cat is pregnant with a litter of 5 kittens. Each kitten has a 30% chance of being chocolate brown. Priya wants to know the probability that at least 2 of the kittens will be chocolate brown.
To simulate this, Priya put 3 white cubes and 7 green cubes in a bag. For each trial, Priya pulled out and returned a cube 5 times. Priya conducted 12 trials.
Here is a table with the results.

| 1 | ggggg |

| 3 | wgwgw |

How could Priya increase the accuracy of the simulation?
A team has a 75% chance to win each of the 3 games they will play this week. Clare simulates the week of games by putting 4 pieces of paper in a bag, 3 labeled “win” and 1 labeled “lose.” She draws a paper, writes down the result, then replaces the paper and repeats the process two more times. Clare gets the following result: win, win, lose. What can Clare do to estimate the probability the team will win at least 2 games?
On a graph of side length of a square vs. its perimeter, a few points are plotted.
Add at least two more ordered pairs to the graph.
