Question

On average, Margo scores a goal for her field hockey team every 2 out of 3 shots. Margo uses a number cube to simulate her next three shots. She assigns 1 to 4 as goals and 5 and 6 as missed shots. Why does this assignment of numbers on the number cube make it a valid simulation?

Answer 1

Margo makes 2/3 shots and making 4 shots and missing 2 shots equals 6 so 4/6 reduces to 2/3.

Explanation:

4/6 = 2/3
