To identify: The error if one’s classmate conducted a simulation to predict how many boxes of cereal he need to buy to get all 5 prizes. If after one trial of simulation, he concluded that he would need to buy 7 boxes of cereals.
The simulation must be conducted at least 25 times to find the average number of boxes needed.
Given information:
The given statement says that one’s classmate conducted a simulation to predict how many boxes of cereal he need to buy to get all 5 prizes. If after one trial of simulation, he concluded that he would need to buy 7 boxes of cereals.
Explanation:
Simulation is a technique that is used to act out a problem by conducting experiments and its outcomes are analogous to the original problem.
Students can estimates a probability using many trails rather than determine probabilities theoretically while using simulation.
As it is given that the student only conducted one trial of the simulation, which is not enough to arrive at an accurate prediction for the boxes of cereal that he need to buy to get all 5 prizes.
He should conduct the simulation at least 25 times to find the average number of boxes needed.
