State your conclusion
 
  As a 4-H project, Billy is raising chickens. He feeds and waters them every day, and collects the eggs every other day, selling them to people in the neighborhood.

Based on past experience he estimates that there will be no eggs in 10 of the nests, one egg in 30 of the nests, and 2 eggs in the other 60. Conduct a simulation to estimate how many nests Billy will have to visit to collect a dozen eggs.
