Your favorite uncle plays the Pick 3 lottery. The lottery numbers available in this game begin with 1 and end at 65. Since it is a Pick 3 lottery, 3 numbers are chosen. Your uncle believes that even numbers are the luckiest, and would like to know how often all 3 numbers in a drawing are even. Create and implement a simulation of at least 15 trials for this situation.
  1. Identify the simulation.
  2. Explain how to model the trial.
  3. Run multiple trials.
  4. Analyze the data.
  5. State the conclusion or answer the question from the problem.
