I have to do something like this: I don't know mathematica language but I
think it can do that...
for i=1 to 500
(
1) get 50 nubers random from 1 to 100. (to be onest I need exponential
distribution) and put it in a vector 'v'
2) order this vector ('v') : vo=order_vector (v)
3) take the 30th elemente : e=vo[30]
4) calculate sum of first 30 elements of vo : for(j=1 to 30) s=s+vo[j]
5) calculate d=s/i;
6) print d, print the vector vo.
)
I don't know mathematica very well and I have to manipulate data in a
little time so I ask help you: how can I write this programs?
Thank you in advance, Mario.
P.S. where can I find nice manual on internet for programming whith
mathematica?
