Abstract
This article describes the simulation results for the following random experiment. Fix a value for the parameter p, O
1 be a uniform random variable on the interval [L1, U1]=[0,1]. For n>2, define the random variables Xn and the random intervals [Ln, Un] by:[EQUATION]If Xn-1 < (Ln-1+Un-1)/2, the intervals are constructed as above with the probabilities reversed.
