Instead of using the formula derived in CURE—see Equation 9.19—we could run a Monte Carlo simulation to directly estimate the probability that a sample of size s would contain at least a certain fraction of the points from a cluster. Using a Monte Carlo simulation compute the probability that a sample of size s contains 50% of the elements of a cluster of size 100, where the total number of points is 1000, and where s can take the values 100, 200, or 500.
