Chapter 5.1, Problem 26E

To determine

To explain how many games of scrabble would you expect to choose on average and design and carry out a simulation to answer.

Answer to Problem 26E

The result will bebetween $\text{1 and 30}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Use two-digit numbers.

Let the numbers $\text{00 to 02}$ represent "bingo".

Let the numbers between $\text{03 and 99}$ represent no "bingo".

Count the number of two-digits numbers needed until you obtain "bingo".

Repeat this simulation multiple times.

You will most likely obtain a result of between $\text{1 and 30}$ needed numbers until the first "bingo" is obtained.
