Question

A cooler contains 5 bottles of lemonade, 4 bottles of water, and 3 bottles of juice. Each type is equally likely to be chosen. Based on your simulation, how many times must a drink be chosen in order to get each type?

Answer 1

Since each type of drink (lemonade, water, and juice) is equally likely to be chosen, the probability of choosing a type of drink is 1 in 3 picks. Thus, in order to get all three types of drinks, one must pick 3 times.
