Question

If you wanted to run a simulation for something with a 25% (1 in 4) chance of success, then you could generate random numbers 1 – 4, and arbitrarily choose one of the numbers to represent a “success.” You could choose “1” to be a “success,” for instance.

Suppose you want to simulate something with a 20% (1 in 5) chance of success. What numbers would you generate (from ___ to ___)? What number(s) would indicate “success?”

Suppose you want to simulate something with a 30% (3 in 10) chance of success. What numbers would you generate? What number(s) would indicate “success?”

Suppose you want to simulate something with a 2 in 13 chance of success. What numbers would you generate? What number(s) would indicate “success?”
