Scientific paper

A simulation study is made of the relative numbers of the AM Herculis binaries and the intermediate polars as a function of the orbital period using random variables subject to suitable constraints to describe the various parameters. It is shown that the observations can be matched by a single distribution in the magnetic moment equals 0.7 +/- 0.3. For such an ensemble, the intermediate polars are distributed in the log(Porb) - log(Ps) diagram about the critical disk line but with a larger scatter than observed.
