Malachi is practicing math fluency. He has 100 math operation flashcards with 42 additon problem cards, 56 subtraction cards, and two multiplication cards. He will time himself to see how fast he can solve the problems on two cards. He chooses his two cards and they are both multiplication cards. Is choosing 2 multiplication cards likely? Explain by running a simulation.

Part A: State the problem or question in assumptions.

Part B: describe the process for one repetition, including possible outcomes, assigned representations, and measured variables.

Part C: use digits from a table of random digits or use your calculator to perform one repetition. Submit the list of random digits and indicate those that represent multiplication cards.

Part D: suppose there were 5 times when both cards selected were multiplication cards after 1,500 repetitions of the simulation. Stay at your conclusions from these results.
