Using this number cube and spinner, which simulation would help you answer this question? Over the past 50 years, records for one northwest city show that snow fell on the first day of winter 16 of the time. If you choose a year at random, what are the chances that the first day of winter will be a snowy Monday?

Answer:

0.045714286

Explanation:

The chance of it being snowy is 16/50, or 0.32. And the chance of that day being Monday out of 7 days over the week is 1/7, or 0.143. Then the chances that the first day of winter will be a snowy Monday is 0.32*0.143 = 0.045714286
