The spinner could be divided into two equal sections: one labeled "Raining" and the other labeled "Not Raining."
To perform the simulation, Philippe should follow these steps:
1. Spin the spinner.
2. Record whether the spinner lands on "Raining" or "Not Raining."
3. Repeat the process multiple times to gather data.
4. Calculate the proportion of times the spinner lands on "Raining" to estimate the probability of it raining tomorrow.
Philippe knows there is a $20\%$ chance that it will rain tomorrow and an $80\%$ chance that it will not rain tomorrow.
Part A
Philippe considers making a spinner to simulate the probability of it raining tomorrow. Describe what the spinner could look like and the steps he should take to perform the simulation.
