Chapter 13.4, Problem 1CYP

To determine

To design the simulation using geometric model that can be used to estimate the number of drinks.

Answer to Problem 1CYP

  $12$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

There are $6$ game pieces.

Calculation:

Either a person will collect the game piece or he will not collect it.

So the probability of success is $\frac{1}{2}$ and failure is $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the estimated number of trials to collect one game piece is $2$

Since there are $6$ game pieces, so to collect all of them the estimated number of trials will be $2\times 6=12$
