8) (a) Use a graphing calculator or statistical software to simulate drawing a card from a standard deck 100
times (with replacement of the card after each draw). Use an integer distribution with numbers 1 through 4
and use the results of the simulation to estimate the probability of getting a spade when a card is drawn
from a standard deck.
(b) Simulate drawing a card from a standard deck 400 times (with replacement of the card after each draw).
Estimate the probability of getting a spade when a card is drawn from a standard deck.
Compare the results of (a) and (b) to the probability that would be obtained using the classical method.
Which simulation resulted in the closest estimate to the probability that would be obtained using the
classical
method? Is this what you would expect?
Answer: Answers to parts (a) and (b) will vary.
1
The answer in part (b) is likely to be closer to the classical probability of .
4
In general, as the number of repetitions of a probability experiment increases,
the closer the empirical probability should get to the classical probability.
