Quick questions on Estimating probabilities using simulation - AP Statistics Unit 4
3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is q1?Show answer
To simulate an event with probability using single random digits, how many digits should represent the event, and give a valid assignment. [2 points]
What is q2?Show answer
Why does running more trials of a simulation give a better probability estimate? [1 point]
What is no clear stopping rule?Show answer
A trial must have a defined end (a fixed number of digits, or a condition like "until all prizes appear"); leaving it vague makes the simulation incomplete.
