Abstract: This paper deals with the simulation of a random variable using the well-known Monte Carlo method. We suggest to use this method in two problems, which are difficult for students to resolve using mathematical calculations. We introduce these problems, which contain few calculations, but do have deep mathematical background in fact. First problem concerns with the qualitative evaluating of the probability of a random event. In the second one, we estimate the expected value of a random variable using this method.
