Question:
Suppose you want to simulate the probability that a family of six children will have at least two boys. You assume the probability of having a boy or a girl is the same. (Both are 1/2.) To start the simulation, you could:
A. Flip six coins, letting heads represent a boy and tails represent a girl.
B. Create 10 cards, 5 of which have boy written on them and 5 have girl written on them. You then choose 6 of these 10 cards without replacement.
C. Roll six dice and let the numbers 1, 2, 3 represent a boy and 4, 5, 6 represent a girl.
D. Only A and B are appropriate
E. Only A and C are appropriate
F. Only B and C are appropriate
G. All three, A, B, and C, are appropriate
