Concept explainers
To explain: The process of simulating the races to estimate the required probability.
Answer to Problem CS
Solution: To obtain a string of 35 successive races where at least 30 times one of the inner position is allocated, thousand one-digit random numbers from 1 to 9 are chosen from the random number table and record how many times the number 1, 2, and 3 are occurring in a row for 1000 times.
Explanation of Solution
As each race has nine horses, there must be nine outcomes possible for each race. The horses are labeled as
As the probability of getting one of the inside positions is
