Baseball Monte Carlo Style.
Houser, Larry L.
Mathematics Teacher, v74 n5 p340-41 May 1981
Monte Carlo methods are used to simulate activities in baseball such as a team's "hot streak" and a hitter's "batting slump." Student participation in such simulations is viewed as a useful method of giving pupils a better understanding of the probability concepts involved. (MP)
