One option to design and conduct a simulation would be to create a spinner. A spinner is divided into two sectors, one containing 95%95\% of the spinner's area and the other 100%95%=5%100\%-95\%=5\% of the spinner's area.

Find the measure of the central angle of each sector.

95%360=0.95360=3425%360=0.5360=18\begin{align*} 95\%\cdot360^\circ&=0.95\cdot 360^\circ=342^\circ\\ 5\%\cdot360^\circ&=0.5\cdot 360^\circ=18^\circ\\ \end{align*}
