Reference no: EM131178816

Simulate the odd-person-out procedure for n people with 3 ≤ n ≤ 10. Run a large number of trials for each value of n and use the results to estimate the expected number of flips needed to find the odd person out. Does your result agree with that found in Exercise 29 in Section 7.2? Vary the problem by supposing that exactly one person has a biased coin with probability of heads p ≠ 0.5.
