Performing simulations
problem:
in a certain ape statistics class of 24 students, two of the students discovered they share the same
surprised by these results, the students decide to perform a
ese results, the students decide to perform a simulation to estimate the probability that a class
of 24 students has at least two students with the same birthday,
(a) assume that birthdays are randomly distributed throughout the year (and ignore leap year's). desce
how you would use a random number generator to carry out this simulation.
the dotplot shows the number of students who share a birthday with another student in a class of 24
students in 50 trials. there may be multiple sets of matching birthdays in each simulated class.
