Introduction:
You are at a renaissance fair on St. Patrick's Day, and they have a game where you can walk through a maze to possibly win a pot of gold. The maze has multiple different exits; some of these exits have gold, while some do not.
Directions: Work each problem in the space provided, showing your work or explaining your thinking.
- Based on the map of the maze, draw an area model of the maze. KEY: G = gold exits, NG = non-gold exits.

- Use the area model and apply numerical reasoning to determine the theoretical probability of winning the gold.
- You are among the first 50 people who go into the maze. How many of these 50 people can potentially win the gold? Explain your reasoning.
