Essay

As a 4-H project, Billy is raising chickens. He feeds and waters them every day, and collects the eggs every other day, selling
them to people in the neighborhood. He has found that each hen's nest will contain from 0 to 2 eggs. Based on past
experience he estimates that there will be no eggs in 10% of the nests, one egg in 30% of the nests, and 2 eggs in the other 60%.
Conduct a simulation to estimate how many nests Billy will have to visit to collect a dozen eggs.
-Show three trials by clearly labeling the random number table given below. Specify the
outcome for each trial. $$\begin{array} { l l l l } 57528 & 78305 & 63508 & 29418 \\90676 & 31993 & 54636 & 17877 \\31574 & 28042 & 72621 & 84818\end{array}$$
