Question:
When Martin and Thomas play a game, the probability that Thomas will win is 3/4. What type of simulation could be used to predict how many games Martin will win if seven games are played?

Solution:
To simulate a probability of 3/4, we can use a standard pack of 52 cards, and draw 1 card for each trial (total 7 cards).
If the suit is Spade, Heart, Diamond, Thomas wins. If the suit is club, Martin wins.
