This is a digital object that simulates fruit jube packing.
Structure and features
Open the link and follow the instructions on the screen.
Test a machine that randomly packages 2 or 3 types of fruit jubes: penguin, fish and frog. Choose the ratio that each jube type is likely to be produced in a packet of 12 jubes. For example, choose a 2:1 ratio so that penguin jubes are twice as likely to be produced as fish jubes. See the variation in random samples.
For teachers
