    I. Introduction Have you ever wondered what the next Stock Prices were going to be? Did you ever know that you could calculate these future prices? Have you heard of the Monte Carlo Simulation? The Monte Carlo Simulation is a computerized mathematical technique that allows people to account for risk in quantitative analysis and decision. It furnishes the decision-maker with a range of possible outcomes and probabilities that they will occur for any chance of action. It shows the extreme possibilities

    In recent years, scientists and the general public have become increasingly aware of climate change. Scientists have begun and continue to study historical and geologic records in order to determine natural patterns versus human-induced changes in climate. By studying historical data and recent impacts, scientists may be able to determine consequences people will face now and in the future. One of the potential consequences of the changing climate is an increase in anomalous weather events. By definition

    close the repeated measurements were to one another. In this lab, the method for measuring the volume of the polystyrene spheres is done with the previously stated tools: Water Displacement, Analytical Scale, and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The standard deviation for the entire classes volumes and masses are recorded to determine the densities. Introduction: Accuracy and precision were the major aspects of the lab. Accuracy is how close the average of the measured values are to the actual value. Precision

    I. Introduction The Monte Carlo Simulation is a computerized mathematical technique that allows people to account for risk in quantitative analysis and decision. It furnishes the decision-maker with a range of possible outcomes and probabilities that they will occur for any chance of action. It shows the extreme possibilities of things as well. The system calculates results over and over, each time using a different set of random values from the probability functions. The simulation could involve

    one that has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. While this is the case, there might be other normal distributions with means that are not 0 and a standard deviation that is not 1, for these cases, we use their means and standard deviation. For example, if a normal distribution had a mean of -2 and a standard deviation of 3, then in order to clarify that it is indeed a normal distribution, we write N(-2,3). Among the normal distributions, we have a standard normal, exponential, uniform and
