Chapter 4 Simulation or How to solve math problems without using “math” Introduction to Simulation
Section 4.2 Introduction to Simulation Introduction to Simulation
“China’s Problem” 1960 Introduction to Simulation
Current Policy “One Family – Child” Incentives • Reduced mortgages • Preferential treatment for jobs Introduction to Simulation
Penalties • No bonuses • Financial penalties for additional children • Social stigma No promotions Introduction to Simulation
Problems • No birth restrictions on foreign nationals • Urban areas vs. rural regions • Financial • Cultural Introduction to Simulation
Proposed Policy “One Family – ” Examples of proposed Chinese families Introduction to Simulation
Big Question . Your estimation Why is this a case for simulation? Here are some coins -You solve it Introduction to Simulation
Simulation #1 - Coins Simulated Coin “Outcomes” Real Life “Outcomes” Girl Baby Boy Baby Introduction to Simulation
Making Families with Coins Examples Make 10 families and report TOTAL number of kids. (Class) Average number of children per family Introduction to Simulation
Repeat and pool all data Introduction to Simulation
Keystrokes ON MATH (third key down, left column) Cursor over to PRB Press “5” Type: 1, 2, 1 to get RandInt(1, 2, 1) Introduction to Simulation
Random Integer Correspondence Simulated Random Integer outcomes Real Life outcomes Girl Baby Boy Baby Introduction to Simulation
Making Families with a TI Examples Make 10 families and report total number of children Introduction to Simulation
Repeat and pool all data Introduction to Simulation
Rule 1 The more trials the better your answer Introduction to Simulation
In general Largest, ) RandInt ( How Many Smallest, So, RandInt(2, 8, 3) means . Examples: Introduction to Simulation
0 of 30 To get the data 2, 3, 1, 1, 3 use • RandInt(1, 5, 3) • RandInt(1, 3, 5) • RandInt(2, 5, 3) • RandInt(2, 2, 5) • None of the above Introduction to Simulation
0 of 30 Randint (3, 6, 3) could give the output • 3, 3, 3 • 4, 5, 6 • 6, 5, 6 • All of the above • None of the above Introduction to Simulation
Mathematical Models • The math model in voting was a Preference schedule • The math model for simulation is RandInt(x, y, z) • What do they have in common? • Simple notions • Help solve complex problems • Wide variety of applications Introduction to Simulation
Name of Problem: Chinese Population. • Outcomes whose Random integer • probabilities we know: correspondences: • RandInt( , , ) • (Trials): • Answer: Fairly complex problem is reduced to this math model. This is what we’ll seek in each problem Introduction to Simulation
0 of 30 If the “One Family – One Son” policy were adopted, the average number of children per family would be? (Nearest answer) • 1.5 children • 2 children • 2.5 children • 3 children • 3.5 children • More Introduction to Simulation
