RE: An unexpected result involving sums of random numbers
In Matlab with the following script:
sumcount = 0; for i = 1:100000 s = 0; count = 0; while s <= 1 s = s+random('Uniform', 0,1); count = count + 1; end sumcount = sumcount + count; end avgcount = sumcount/100000; I get: 2.7195 2.7196 2.7190 2.7175 2.7183 Or, much better than yours. Of course this does not really "converge" to e. |
