Asked by Joe Rivers (parent)
You and five of your friends like to go to McDonalds once a week and get Happy Meals for the prize inside. McDonalds has just started a new “dinosaur toy” promotion for their Happy Meals with six different dinosaurs you can collect: Brachiosaurus, Brontosaurus, Diplodocus, Tyrannosaurus, Plesiosaurus, and Allosaurus. You each want to collect at least one of all six dinosaurs, but the prizes are randomly placed in Happy Meals, and there is no way to know which dinosaur you’re getting until you open the Happy Meal bag.
How might you design a simulation experiment to find the likelihood (experimental probability) of getting all six toys after one, two, three, etc. weeks?
