Thanks very much Alan :)
I looked at Matlab by Mathworks. It is $219 in Australia.
But then they say that to buy Simulink and add ons they are $65 each.
So this means I do not really know how much it will cost as I don't know if I need these extras.
The videos you sent have been written in Python programming language which appears to be a free download. In the very distance past I was relatively proficient at FORTRAN so I have some of the basic concepts and may be able to learn this language. I will admit though that getting my head around the logic could be a major problem for me these days.
I also looked at a Matlab video. It was showing many fabulous practical applications but I know I will never master any of those. At this instant in time I am only interested in running MonteCarlo simulations so that i can check my own probability answers.
I do not think I am interested in learning to do this in EXCEL. I think it would be super clumsy.
So this has led me to 3 options:
1) Get Matlab and learn to use it.
2) Download Python and learn to use it.
3) Keep asking you to check my answer :))
Mmmm
Do you have any input for me?
