Simulate the experiment described in Exercise 3.7 using any five identically shaped objects, two of which are one colour and the three another colour. Mix the objects, draw two, record the results, and then replace the objects. Repeat the experiment a large number of times (at least 100). Calculate the proportion of time events A, B, and C occur. How do these proportions compare with the probabilities you calculated in Exercise 3.7? Should these proportions equal the probabilities? Explain.

Short Answer

A=Getting two red balls drawn

The probability of getting two red balls drawn according to the simulation run is

B=A red and a green ball is drawn.

P(B)=0.39according to the simulation

C=Getting two green balls

P(C)=0.16

n(A)=23,n(B)=37,n(C)=17,n(S)=100

Therefore, P(A)=0.23,P(B)=0.37,P(C)=0.17

02

Defining the simulation run experiment

The probabilities calculated in exercise 3.7 for events A, B and C were PA=18=0.125,PB=38=0.375and PC=12=0.5.

Doing the simulation run for drawing two balls from 5 balls sample space, one gets PA=0.11,PB=0.39 and PC=0.16 .

Here, one observes that probabilities calculated in exercise 3.7 and the probabilities calculated here are near to each other. That is because of the Law of Large Numbers.

Law of large number states that when an experiment is conducted repeatedly, the possibility of the number of times an event will occur approaches the theoretical probability of the outcome.

03

Repeating the simulation run experiment

Repeating the experiment, say 100 times gives the possibility for events A, B and C as close to its theoretical probability which is calculated in exercise 3.7.

In exercise 3.7, the probability of events A, B and C were PA=18=0.125,PB=38=0.375 and PC=12=0.5.

While after running the simulation 100 times we get the possibility of events A, B and C happening as, PA=0.11,PB=0.39and PC=0.16. If one simulates let鈥檚 say 1000 times, the possibility of these events happening will get closer to the theoretical probability.

Degrees of best-paid CEOs.Refer to the results of the Glassdoor Economic Research (August 25, 2015) survey of the top 40 best-paid CEOs shown in Table 2.1 (p. 65). The data on the highest degree obtained are summarized in the SPSS printout below. Suppose you randomly select five of the CEOs (without replacement) and record the highest degree obtained by each.

a.What is the probability that the highest degree obtained by the first CEO you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree?

b.Suppose the highest degree obtained by each of the first four CEOs you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree. What is the probability that the highest degree obtained

by the fifth CEO you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree?

Exit poll candidates and voters.In an exit poll, 45% of voters said that the main issue affecting their choice of candidates was the economy, 35% said national security, and the remaining 20% were not sure. Suppose we select one of the voters who participated in the exit poll at random and ask for the main issue affecting his or her choice of candidates.

  1. List the sample points for this experiment.
  2. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points.
  3. What is the probability that the main issue affecting randomly selected voters鈥 choice was either the economy or national security?

鈥淟et鈥檚 Make a Deal.鈥滿arilyn vos Savant, who is listedin Guinness Book of World Records Hall of Fame for鈥淗ighest IQ,鈥 writes a weekly column in the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade Magazine. Her column, 鈥淎skMarilyn,鈥 is devoted to games of skill, puzzles, and mind-bendingriddles. In one issue (Parade Magazine, February 24, 1991), vos Savant posed the following question:

Suppose you鈥檙e on a game show, and you鈥檙e given a choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door鈥攕ay, #1鈥攁nd the host, who knows what鈥檚 behind the doors, opens another door鈥攕ay #3鈥攚hich has a goat. He then says to you, 鈥淒o you want to pick door #2?鈥 Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Marilyn鈥檚 answer: 鈥淵es, you should switch. The first door has a 13 chance of winning [the car], but the second has a 23 chance [of winning the car].鈥 Predictably, vos Savant鈥檚 surprising answer elicited thousands of criticalletters, many of them from PhD mathematicians, who disagreed with her. Who is correct, the PhDs or Marilyn?
