A box contains 20 balls, numbered 1 to 20. A ball is drawn from the box at random.
(a) Compute the probability that the number on the ball was either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
(b) Calculate the problem (a) using Monte Carlo simulation (You may use built-in functions
in MS Excel or Matlab ® , You have to provide the source code and plot of simulation).
(c) Discuss about the result of problem (a) and (b)

Solution

a) probability that the number on the ball was either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 is 5/20 = 0.25 as the ball is random.

b)
