Question

Don't solve 9.3 as part of this.

(a) Using calculus, find the area bounded by the two parabolas P1 (x) = x2 – x + 1/2 and
P2(x) = -x2 + x + 1/2. (b) Estimate the area as a Type 1 Monte Carlo simulation, by finding
the average value of P2(x) – Pi(x) on [0, 1]. Find estimates for n = 10' for 2 <is6.
3.
(c) Same as (b), but estimate as a Type 2 Monte Carlo problem: Find the proportion of points in
the square [0, 1] × [0, 1] that lie between the parabolas. Compare the efficiency of the two
Monte Carlo approaches.
