Statistics: Ch 4 Probability and Statistics (70 of 74) Monte Carlo Simulation: Ex. 3

To donate:

We will use the Monte Carlo simulation to find the number of times a die needs to thrown before a 6 appears. Example 3

Exactly two years ago I had a question about just this on my National Test in the first math course, had I known this channel back then I wouldn't have had a hard time counting probability questions. Oh well, we all learn from our mistakes but this was an excellent explanation.

Why do you expect the Bell curve to centre on 6 ? It is like saying that most often you will roll the die 6 times and the 6th roll will be a 6. It is far more likely that rolls 1 to 5 will produce a 6. Instead of a Bell curve there is a slope starting highest at 1 and generally decreasing thereafter because the probability of needing 'lots of throws' to get a 6 is always a decreasing one ?

what was that random number generation from 1 to 0! and then ignoring 7, 8, 9, 0 , does not make sense...

Profesor, I know this is not the right video in which to ask this question but:

Could you make a playlists on rocket science?
