We can use a random number generator to estimate probabilities that might otherwise be difficult to evaluate. Consider the probability of obtaining four heads on four flips. Generate four separate random experiments of 0s and 1s representing N trials each. (You can do this by generating an Nx4 random array rather than an Nx1 array as in #1.) Now look at the corresponding rows and determine what percentage of the time all four coin flips across a row are heads (all entries equal 1). Show how you do this in MATLAB. Report the percentage with N=10,000 and 100,000, and compare this to the expected percentage.
