<p>This question was asked earlier today <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/239640/simulation-problem-in-r#comment455733_239640">https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/239640/simulation-problem-in-r#comment455733_239640</a>.</p>

<p>The text is copy-pasted from an Exercise from <strong>Introduction to Probability</strong> (Joseph K. Blitzstein, Jessica Hwang) (<a href="https://books.google.com.br/books?id=EvoYCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA135&amp;lpg=PA135&amp;dq=%22A%20copy%20machine%20is%20used%20to%20make%20n%20pages%20of%20copies%20per%20day%22&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=AySoPLSFlS&amp;sig=MeFX_TrClWGWq5cGB-FFbDIHDM8&amp;hl=pt-BR&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiv6aThttPPAhUDFZAKHVRvDk8Q6AEIHjAA#v=onepage&amp;q=%22A%20copy%20machine%20is%20used%20to%20make%20n%20pages%20of%20copies%20per%20day%22&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow noreferrer">see here</a>, <strong>Exercise 47.b</strong>).</p>

<p>I added the tag <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/self-study" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;self-study&#39;" rel="tag">self-study</a> without asking the author, kinda like the consensus achieved in <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1172/should-we-tag-questions-that-smell-like-homework?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1">Should we tag questions that smell like homework?</a>.</p>

<p>The tag was removed pointing towards other threads in meta debating this kind of tagging.</p>

<p>So, should (or shouldn't) I tag <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/self-study" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;self-study&#39;" rel="tag">self-study</a> such blatantly self study questions?</p>
