Solving Probability Problems Using Monte Carlo Simulation.

Rudolph, William B.; Tvrdik, Debra

School Science and Mathematics, v91 n2 p51-53 Feb 1991

Described is a strategy that allows students to experiment with probability without applying formulas to solve problems. Students are able to intuitively develop concepts of probability before formal definitions and properties. Sample problems are included along with BASIC programs for some of the problems. (KR)
