suppose it is known that approximately 7 percent of adults who take a certain medication will experience side effects. Which of the following simulations could model the number of individuals who ill experience side effects if the medication is given to 390 adults
1 answer
A simulation could involve generating 390 random numbers between 0 and 1, representing the probability of an individual experiencing side effects when taking the medication. For each number generated, if it is less than or equal to 0.07 (representing the 7% probability), then that individual is considered to have experienced side effects. By repeating this process multiple times, a distribution of the number of individuals experiencing side effects can be created. This simulation would be a Monte Carlo simulation.
