Answer:
The probability of a man being 73 inches tall or shorter is 90%, which means 10% of men are taller than 73 inches. The ratio of men 73 inches tall or shorter to men who are taller than 73 inches is 9 : 1. Model this situation using a random number generator with the digits 0 to 9, where the numbers 0 to 8 represent men who are 73 inches tall or shorter and the number 9 represents men who are taller than 73 inches.
For at least four men to be chosen before one is selected who is taller than 73 inches, the first three men (n – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3) must be 73 inches tall or shorter. This means for the event to occur, the first three numbers must be from 0 to 8, not 9. Use the number generator to generate sets of three numbers. The event occurring is represented by outcomes in which 9 does not appear in the set of three numbers.
