Question

Explain why the following simulation fails to model the real situation properly. Simulate a quarterback's performance by letting 0 be an incomplete pass, 1 be a complete pass, and 2 be an interception. Choose the correct answer below. The outcomes of the random integer are not equally likely. However, the real situation contains events that are equally likely. The likelihoods for an incomplete pass, a complete pass, and an interception are the same, but the simulation assumes they are not. The likelihoods for an incomplete pass, a complete pass, and an interception are not the same, but the simulation assumes they are. The simulation does not take into account integers between 3 and 9 when running the simulation.

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is B.

The likelihoods for an incomplete pass, a complete pass, and an interception are the same due to equally likely events. However the simulation assuming it to be 0,1,2 respectively may not be a true representation of the quarterback's performance.
