To change the simulation to generate data for three pets, you would need to modify the possible outcomes to include combinations of three pets such as:
1. Dog, Dog, Dog
2. Cat, Cat, Cat
3. Dog, Dog, Cat
4. Dog, Cat, Cat
5. Cat, Dog, Dog
6. Cat, Dog, Cat
You would then need to run the simulation with these new outcomes and record the frequencies of each outcome. This would allow you to calculate the experimental probability of having three pets with the desired combination.
Result Frequency
Heads, Heads 12
Heads, Tails 12
Tails, Heads 17
Tails, Tails 9
Total 50
The experimental probability of them having two dogs or two cats is 42%
The theoretical probability that they have three dogs or cats is a 25% chance of happening.
How could you change the simulation to generate data for three pets?
