Consider the following probability distribution for the number of siblings:
Explain how you could use simulation to estimate the probability that you will need to ask at least five students the question, “Are you an only child?” If each is an only child before you find the first one that is an only child.
I have no idea where to even start. Can some one please help?
| Number of siblings | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Probability | 0.15 | 0.35 | 0.30 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 0.03 | 0.02 |
