Color-blind men Aboutof men in the United States have some form of red-green color blindness. Suppose we randomly select one U.S. adult male at a time until we find one who is red-green color-blind. How many men would we expect to choose, on average? Design and carry out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.
Simulation blunders Explain what’s wrong with each of the following simulation designs.
(a) A roulette wheel has colored slots— red, black, and green. To simulate one spin of the wheel, let numbers to represent red, to
represent black, and to represent green.
(b) About of U.S. adults are left-handed. To simulate randomly selecting one adult at a time until you find a left-hander, use two digits. Let to represent being left-handed and to represent being right-handed. Move across a row in Table D, two digits at a time, skipping any numbers that have already appeared, until you find a number between and 10. Record the number of people selected.
Due to a hit, A very good professional baseball player gets a hit about of the time over an entire season. After the player failed to hit safely in six straight at-bats, a TV commentator said, “He is due for a hit by the law of averages.” Is that right? Why?
