What is probability simulation?

Back

Probability simulation is a method used to model and analyze the likelihood of different outcomes in a random process by using random sampling techniques.

What is a random event?

Back

A random event is an occurrence that cannot be predicted with certainty, where the outcome is determined by chance.

How can you simulate a random choice from multiple options?

Back

You can use tools like coins, dice, or spinners to randomly select from multiple options.

What does it mean for an event to be equally likely?

Back

An event is equally likely if all outcomes have the same chance of occurring.

What is a spinner in probability?

Back

A spinner is a circular device divided into sections, each representing a different outcome, used to simulate random selection.

Front

How can flipping a coin simulate a binary outcome?

Back

Flipping a coin has two possible outcomes (heads or tails), making it a simple way to simulate binary events.

How can you represent multiple-choice questions in a simulation?

Back

You can use a spinner with sections corresponding to each choice or roll a die if the number of choices matches the die's faces.

What is the significance of sample size in probability simulations?

Back

Sample size affects the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results; larger samples tend to provide more reliable estimates.

What is a number cube?

Back

A number cube, or die, is a six-sided object with numbers 1 to 6, used to generate random outcomes.
