Image description: Allyson and Marissa are sitting at Allyson’s kitchen table. Allyson has a book in front of her and Marissa is looking at her laptop. Allyson is drinking a can of soda. After she drinks, she looks at the can of soda.
Allyson: Hey Marissa, how many cans of soda did you buy?
Marissa: We bought a six-pack. Why?
Allyson: Oh my gosh! You won $50!
Image description: A close-up of the can of soda shows the text, “1 in 6 wins 50 dollars.”
Marissa: What are you talking about? Just because the can says one in six wins does not mean we won.
Allyson: Why not?
Marissa: I will use a probability simulation to explain it to you.
