Then we put the drawn coin back in the urn, shake all the coins around, and again draw out a coin. We mark down whether that second-drawing coin is or is not the ”mucket" coin, and that outcome stands for a second mussel in the sample. We do this twenty times to represent our twenty mussels, replacing the coin after each drawing, of course. Those twenty drawings represent one sample of 20 mussels.
At the end of the twenty draws we count how many muckets we have gotten, checking whether there are four or more muckets (the question we started with). If there are four or more, we write down in another column "yes"; if not, we write "no." The work we have done up to now represents one experimental trial of the model for a single sample.
