Simulations Quiz

What is a simulation?

• data that is randomly collected

• artificial data that models a real-world scenario by using random numbers to represent the outcomes of real events

• artificial data

• random numbers that represent data

What are the three parts of a simulation?

• component

• trials

• data

• outcomes

What is the first step of a simulation?

• identify the component

• model with random numbers

• generate trials

• identify outcomes & find average

What is the 2nd step of a simulation?

• identify the component

• assign random numbers

• generate trials

• identify outcomes & find average

What is the 3rd step of a simulation?

• identify the component

• model with random numbers

• generate trials

• identify outcomes & find average

What is the 4th step of a simulation?

• identify the component

• model with random numbers

• generate trials

• identify outcomes & find average. Then, state conclusion

What is a component?

• basic event of the situation we want to model

•  the sequence of events we want to investigate 

•  the result that occurs from a trial 

• the chance that an outcome will occur

What is a trial?

• basic event of the situation we want to model

•  the sequence of events we want to investigate 

•  the result that occurs from a trial 

• the chance that an outcome will occur

What is an outcome?

• basic event of the situation we want to model

•  the sequence of events we want to investigate 

•  the results that occurs from 1 trial

• the chance that an outcome will occur

A dog has a 50% chance of having a male puppy. Which models could be used to represent this scenario? (pick 2)

• 1-50 = male

• 1-50 = male

  51-100 = female

• 0 = male

  1 = female

• 0-50 = male

  50-100 = female
