A company says that the probability of finding an all-star card in a game pack is 12.5%. A student wants to determine the probability that, if he buys 6 game packs, 2 or more will have an all-star card.

To do this, he uses a random number table to pick 6 numbers from 1 to 8. He lets 1 represent a pack with an all-star card and 2 through 8 represent a pack without an all-star card. He repeats this for a total of 15 trials. The results are shown in the table.

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.

To estimate the probability that 2 or more out of 6 packs will have an all-star card, the student must count the number of trials with and divide by the number of trials.

This gives an estimated probability of about
