standard_description: Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.

Sam spins the spinner twice and doesn't land on 4. What is the probability of this occuring?
Problem 2
Dan has shuffled a deck of cards. He chooses a first card, looks at it, puts the card back into the deck, shuffles again, and finally chooses a second card. What is the probability that Dan’s two cards are of the same suit?
