Your favorite breakfast cereal contains a toy dinosaur in each box. There are four different dinosaur toys in the complete collection, and each one has an equal chance of being in each box.
You want to figure out what the probability is that you will get more than one tyranosaurus rex if you buy five boxes of cereal. Which experiment could be used to simulate this situation?

A possible experiment to simulate this situation would be to create five piles of four different dinosaur toys, with each pile containing one of each toy. Then, randomly select five toys from the piles and count how many of them are tyranosaurus rex. Repeat this experiment multiple times to get an estimate of the probability.
