Computer Simulations and Problem-Solving in Probability.

Camp, John S.

Creative Computing, v4 n5 p69-71 Sep-Oct 1978, 78

The purpose of this paper is to present problems (and solutions) from the areas of marketing, population planning, system reliability, and mathematics to show how a computer simulation can be used as a problem-solving strategy in probability. Examples using BASIC and two methods of generating random numbers are given. (Author/MP)
