MATH 2332 – Probability & Data Analysis Score: ____________ of 150

Simulation Project Template Due Date: October 30, 2014

Simulation Title:

Name:

Use the instructional videos for help with Excel formulas and graphs.

Step 1

Define and verify the distribution of the discrete random variable.

Define the response variable and explain how it will be calculated.

Step 2

Define success and failure in context, and the probability of each outcome.

Assign digits based on the probabilities for success and failure.

Step 3

Provide instructions for conducting the experiment, and include a clear definition of what constitutes a trial along with the number of trials.

Step 4

Carry out the simulation. Copy and paste your table from Excel. Insert a screenshot of the table from Excel in the Appendix.

Step 5

Conduct your statistical analysis for the experimental context. Compute and interpret the experimental response variable in context. Insert all necessary probability distributions and graphs.

Step 6

Compute the theoretical response variable. Insert all necessary probability distributions and graphs.

Step 7

Compare the experimental and theoretical response variables. If appropriate, make an inference and state whether the results are generalizable. Answer and explain the additional question.
