This response indicates application of a reasonable strategy that leads to a correct solution in the context of the problem. A simulation is designed (by first getting 5 different color, same size slips of paper; place each slip into a hat). The student understands that each trial should last (until you get one of each color), and that thirty trials should be conducted. The student describes calculating the mean (add up the amount of tries it took to get all the colors for each trial and divide the total by 30), although the term "average" is used to describe the number of (cereal boxes it will take to recieve every game piece). The response demonstrates a complete understanding and analysis of the problem.
