Chapter 11, Problem 15E

(a)

To determine

To Explain: the simulation for a component.

Explanation of Solution

The Simulate Component Definition is:

The component of the election is that one vote and the result is, or is not, voting for our candidate. Two random digs 00-99 required to be included, so 00-54 votes for our candidate and 55-99 for the underdog.

(b)

To determine

To Explain: the simulation a trial.

Explanation of Solution

The Simulate Trial summary is:

There will be 100 students turning up to vote, so our trial will have 100 votes. 100 two-digit random numbers have to be checked and how many simulated votes for each candidate are counted. The trials are won by someone who gets a majority vote.

(c)

To determine

To Explain: the response variable.

Explanation of Solution

The variable response definition is:

The response variable is whether or not an underdog win. Calculating the experimental likelihood by dividing the number of trials wherein the simulated underdog succeeds by the total number of trials is the value of the response variable.
