Having the sample count already specified implies this is a homework question, but I'll try to give as many hints as I can without ruining it for your learning...

1/ To start with, this isn't a C specific question, but there's nothing stopping you doing this in C. You could do it in fortran, c#; heck, I'd probably recommend using excel...

2/ Your initial problem is solving the equation on pen and paper.

(Yes, I know you have a thing that varies - remember your algebra)

volts = current * resistance
power = current * volts
current = volts / resistance.

I'd suggest excel to start with, or a simple MFC dialog application with a box you type in a user supplied resistance value, and then spit out the results you care about to test your equation.

4/ Now move on to the second part of the question, the varying resistor.

4a/ What is the probability curve? Even if you assume it's flat, you should document that assumption. Why is it varying? If it's a toddler playing with a knob, it may be a guaussing distribution. The point is that it's not specified, so you either have to ask, or at least spell out your assumption.

4b/ Look up Monte Carlo Simulation - I bet it's what you've been taught. Run your function 100000 times with a random number between 200 and 600 and pop the results into a huge table.

4c/ Whether you write them to a text file, and import that into excel, or add a pretty graphic control (we have them here on CP) is up to you.

Good luck,

Iain.
