In a simple game of chance, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are each written on a piece of paper and placed into a hat. A player draws a piece at random, and if the player draws the 3, the player wins. Describe how you would use simulation to estimate the probability of winning the game 2 or more times out of three plays. (Assume all numbers are returned to the hat prior to each round.)

Answer to Question 1

CONFIGURE A RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR TO UNIFORMLY GENERATE RANDOM INTEGERS FROM 1 TO 5 . A TRIAL CONSISTS OF GENERATING A BATCH OF 3 RANDOM NUMBERS. A POSITIVE RESULT OCCURS WHEN THERE ARE 2 OR MORE 3S IN A TRIAL. CONDUCT n TRIALS, WHERE n IS LARGE, AND COUNT THE NUMBER k OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES. THE APPROXIMATE PROBABILITY OF WINNING 2 OR MORE OUT OF 3 PLAYS IS k / n.
