The students in a high school are being randomly split into focus and accountability groups that meet each morning for the first fifteen minutes of the school day. Each group contains four students, selected regardless of gender or grade level.

In order to explore the composition of the groups with regard to grade level, you have decided to conduct a simulation using colored discs. Since the number of students in each grade level is about the same, you put the same number of four different colored discs in a bag: red, blue, green, and yellow. You decide that red (r) represents the freshmen, blue (b) represents the sophomores, green (g) represents the juniors, and yellow (y) represents the seniors.

Next, you randomly select one disc from the bag, record the color, and put the disc bag in the bag. You do the same thing three more times to represent one group. Then, you complete this entire process twenty-five times, as shown below.

Based on the results of the simulation, the chances of a group having at least one senior is:


likely

unlikely

neither unlikely or likely
