According to records from 50 years, there is a 2/3 chance of June temperatures being above 80 F. Azul needs to find the probability that it will be above 80 F for 20 or more days this June. There are 30 days in June. If we use a number cube with the numbers 1-6 and assign 1-4 as a temperature above 80 F and 5-6 as a temperature 80 F or below, what is the best way to preform the stimulation?

The best way to perform the simulation would be to roll the die 30 times to represent the 30 days of June; record each outcome. Then count the number of times he rolled 1-4, and the number of times he rolled 5-6, to find the experimental probabilities.
