A researcher has selected software that allows them to control the number of times a simulation is run and output statistical comparisons between the runs. Which of the following is the strongest justification for this choice?(1 point)

Question

Responses

They need to have statistically reliable results, and this will only require one simulation run so they do not want to waste resources.

They need to have the ability to alter the model based on previous results.
They need to have the ability to alter the model based on previous results.

They need to have the ability to interact with the model in 3D space.

Answer 1

The strongest justification for the researcher's choice of software is:

They need to have statistically reliable results, and this can require more than one simulation run.

This option emphasizes the importance of running multiple simulations to obtain reliable statistical comparisons, which is essential for drawing valid conclusions from simulation data.
