Computer Simulation

The relative frequency you have just calculated give us an estimate of how often no mothers receive her own baby. We can improve this estimate by repeating this process many more times. We will turn to technology to do so.

  • The applet below will replicate this random distribution of babies to mothers. Press the Randomize button, just beware of a rather graphic illustration of where babies come from.

Below is an internet applet you are to use for this lab. If the applet does not display properly, click here.


(e) How many babies went to the correct (color-coded) "house" this time? Record this value in your lab report.
