Sheet 6

Draw a flowchart to estimate the probability that out of 5 persons, 3 or more are born in the same month.

Hint:

There will be 3 functions:

First function:

Similar to the main function illustrated in fig. 3.3. (p.53).

Second function:

This function starts by calling the third function 5 times to generate: m1, m2, m3, m4, m5.

where: mj is the birth month of person j.

Then the function compares these 5 numbers and returns a boolean value.

value. '1' Indicates success; i.e. in this trial, we found three (or more numbers) that are equal.

value '0' indicates failure.

Third function:

Randomly generate the month of birth for a single person.

You can use this formula: 1+int(12*Rand)
