Question 27 – By using Excel or other easiest programming package, explain how I, the integral of sin x dx from 0 to 3.142 could be approximated using random number. Find the exact value of I.

Answer Posted / kang chuen tat (malaysia - pen

Answer 27 : When Excel is used, let column A=RAND() and column B=ASIN(A1). Stretch the columns A and B vertically. The data is transferred to Word, then reinserted into column C and D in order to prevent changes in column A. By using the sort function from the lowest to highest, arrange the data in column C and D, followed by trapezoidal rule performance in column E=0.5*(C1+C2)*(D2-D1). The 2 times summation of values in column E will approximate I≈2 gradually as the random numbers used increase. Exact value of I = -2(-1) = 2 units.
