Question

The quarterback Tom Brady completes 60% of his passes. To simulate the outcome of a single pass we use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to represent the outcome "the pass is completed" and the digits 6, 7, 8, and 9 to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed." To be confident that our simulation is accurate, one needs to :

A. Repeat the simulation several more times
B. Assign new digits to represent outcomes
C. Take the average of the results of Line 134 and Line 101

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Repeat the simulation several more times

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the simulation model is to represent the effectivity of the passes.

The proportion of successful passes is 60%.

As we have 10 digits available, 6 (digits from 0 to 5) are used for the outcome "the pass is completed" and 4 (digits 6, 7, 8, and 9) to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed". This is correct, as it represents a probability of 60% of having a successful pass.

But to have a representative distribution of the possible and probable results, the simulation have to run enough times to have a stable distribution of the results.
