“Describe a real-world scenario involving probability that could occur with the Pac-Man frog in the swamp biome. Then, outline the steps for a basic simulation to model the likelihood of that scenario occurring. Describe a real-world scenario involving probability that could occur with the red knee tarantula in the Arid shrub land. Then, outline the steps for a basic simulation to model the likelihood of that scenario occurring.”
