Question

Simulation. Refer to the probability distribution displayed in Table 5.11 on page 222 .

a. Use the technology of your choice to repeat the simulation done in Example 5.18 on page 223 .

b. Obtain the proportions for the number of heads in three tosses and compare them to the probability distribution in Table 5.11.

c. Obtain a histogram of the proportions and compare it to the probability histogram in Fig. 5.22 (b) on page 223 .

Step-by-step solution

Step 1:Given information

Step 2:Explaination Part a)

a) Using MINITAB, we simulate the outcomes of $X$for 1000 times.

The frequency distribution of the $X$, thus obtained by the simulation is given as follows:

x	frequency(f)
0	135
1	398
2	363
3	129
TOTAL	N=1000
