That is, show that after many, many repetitions of the experiment, the distribution of the random variable's numerical values mirrors the probability distribution of the random variable. _ Scroll down the list of cards and select four to be in the deck: 2 of Clubs, 3 of Hearts, 3 of Diamonds, and 4 of Hearts. ` -1 Experiment: Draw one card from a deck and then replace it. _ The list in the upper left corner of the window indicates the cards that are in the deck. Be certain that the 2 of Clubs, 3 of Hearts, 3 of Diamonds, and 4 of Hearts are selected. _ Let v equal the "value" of the card drawn; that is, v equals 2 if the 2 of Clubs is drawn, 3 if the 3 of Hearts or the 3 of Diamonds is drawn, and 4 if the 4 of Hearts is drawn. ` -1 1. What is the probability that v would equal each of its possible values (2, 3, and 4) for a single repetition the experiment? _ Note that the Pause checkbox is checked. Consequently, the simulation will pause after each repetition. _ 2. Click the Start button. Which card was drawn from the deck? What does numerical value of v equal on the first repetition of the experiment? ` -1 3. Click the Next button to repeat the experiment for a second time. What does numerical value of v equal on the second repetition of the experiment? Click the Next button a few more times. What does the numerical value of v equal for each repetition of the experiment? Explain why v is a random variable. _ The histogram seen above illustrates the distribution of the numerical values of the v's visually; ` 0 Now the Pause checkbox has been cleared. Therefore, the simulation will no longer pause after each repetition of the experiment. _ 4. Click the Next button. After many, many repetitions click the Stop button. What are the relative frequencies of the numerical values of the v's after many, many repetitions? _ 5. Compare your answers to 1 and 4; that is, compare the probabilities and the relative frequencies. How is the probability distribution related to the distribution of the numerical values after many, many repetitions?
