This response indicates little attempt to apply a reasonable strategy. The student begins describing a simulation using random numbers but does not indicate what numbers are being used, what they represent, or how they are generated. However, some correct information is given about how to collect and interpret the data. Thirty trials are performed and each trial lasts until every piece is generated at least once. The student also describes using the mode to estimate how many boxes of cereal you would need to buy (I would see the most frequent amount of times it took to get all the pieces). The response demonstrates a minimal understanding and analysis of the problem.
