Chapter 5.1, Problem 25E

To determine

To explain how many men would you expect to choose on average and design and carry out a simulation to answer.

Answer to Problem 25E

The result will be between $1\text{ and }20$

Explanation of Solution

Use two-digit numbers.

Let the numbers $00\text{ to }06$ represent a person with red-green color blindness.

Let the numbers between $07\text{ to 99}$ represent a person without red-green color blindness.

Count the number of two-digits numbers needed until the first person with red-green color blindness is found.

Repeat this simulation multiple times.

You will most likely obtain a result of between $1\text{ and }20$ needed numbers until the first person with red-green color blindness is found.
