A 10-question multiple choice exam offers 5 choices for each question. Jason randomly picks each answer, so he has probability 1/5 of getting any one answer right. Correct answers are worth 4 points and incorrect answers are worth 0 points.

You want to simulate with a box model what Jason's score on the exam could be if he guesses randomly on each question.
exam score is like considering the ____ of ____ draws ____ replacement from the box with _____ ticket(s) worth 4 points each and 5 tickets worth _____ points. Select the correct words to complete the statement.

exam score is like considering the sum of ten draws with replacement from the box with four tickets worth 4 points each and five tickets worth 0 points.

exam score is like considering the sum of ten draws with replacement from the box with ten tickets worth 4 points each and 5 tickets worth 0 points. Each draw represents Jason's attempt at answering a question, with the box containing tickets representing correct and incorrect answers. The probability of drawing a correct answer ticket is 1/5, as Jason has an equal chance of choosing the right option for each question.

The simulation reflects the random nature of his guesses, with correct answers contributing 4 points to the total score, and incorrect answers contributing 0 points. By repeating this process for all ten questions, the simulation models the variability in Jason's possible exam scores based on random guessing.
