I am working on a science fair project that requires me to take samples of newspaper from 3 different newspaper sources with 20 pages each.
I'm cutting newspaper pages from sources a, b, and c into 8 squares each.
This results in 160 pieces of newspaper from each source.
I use a random number generator to generate random numbers 3 digits and lower for source a, 4 digits for source b, and 5 digits for source c.
Then I use a random number picker to pick 300 pieces from the whole pile of 480 pieces.
According to probability, if chosen at random there should be approximately 33.33...% of the total number of pieces from each source, so around 100 pieces from each source.
Now, how do I graph this out??
I have been researching about cumulative frequency curves but I have no idea what to do.
