His monthly income is derived from a graduate research assistant- ship; however, he also makes extra money in most months by tutoring undergraduates in their intro- ductory neurobiology course. His chances of vari- ous income levels are shown here (assume that this income is received at the beginning of each month): 8-17 abilit zine qua The Pari its famo store ha the dist 8-19 MONTHLY INCOME $850 S 900 $950 $1,000 PROBABILITY 0.35 0.25 0.25 0.15 DAIL Bishop has expenditures that vary from month to month, and he estimates that they will follow this distribution MONTHLY EXPENSES 800 $900 $1,000 $1,100 PROBABILITY 0.05 0.20 0.40 0.35 Each 1 sold f batch (a) S ci (b) T Bishop begins his final year with $1,500 in his checking account.

$                   383 (b) Out of 36 simulation, there was no instance of negative balance in any month Hence, we can conclude that the probability of cash out is negligible (Please remember, the answer will vary depending on the random numbers Since it is statistical problem of simulation, the answer Will not be exactly the same at every simulation. However, variation will be limited
