Coin toss. Is a coin flip random? Why or why not?

Birth defects. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that out of every 100 babies born in the United States. 3 have some kind of major birth defect. How would you assign random numbers to conduct a simulation based on this statistic?

Two pair or three of a kind? When drawing five cards randomly from a deck, which is more likely, two pairs or three of a kind? A pair is exactly two of the same denomination. Three of a kind is exactly 3 of the same denomination. (Don't count three \(8^{\prime}\) s as a pair-that's 3 of a kind. And don't count 4 of the same kind as two pair-that's 4 of a kind, a very special hand.) How could you simulate 5-card hands? Be careful; once you've picked the 8 of spades, you can'\operatorname{tg} e t ~ i t ~ a g a i n ~ i n ~ t h a t ~ h a n d . ~ a) Describe how you will simulate a component. b) Describe how you will simulate a trial. c) Describe the response variable.
