Question: Is this valid? Determine whether each of the following simulation designs is valid. Justify your answer.
(a) According to a recent poll, 75% of American adults regularly recycle. To simulate choosing a random sample of 100 U.S. adults and seeing how many of them recycle, roll a 4-sided die 100 times. A result of 1, 2, or 3 means the person recycles; a 4 means that the person doesn't recycle.
(b) An archer hits the center of the target with 60% of her shots. To simulate having her shoot 10 times, use a coin. Flip the coin once for each of the 10 shots. If it lands heads, then she hits the center of the target. If the coin lands tails, she doesn't.
