I think is the set 0-184, because your baseball player has a 18.5% of probability to do a strikeout

directrix · Answer

If we run a simulation to determine at bat performance for the remainder of the season, will we know at the outset that the player will be consistent at 18.5% strikeout. Maybe his batting worsens and he has a 25.9% strikeout record. Then, would we need 0 - 259 as the set of numbers?  @Michele_Laino

I think that the 18.5% is a model to apply in order to mathematize all season @Directrix

A random number generator can be used to generate a list of 1000 three digit numbers ranging from 000 to 999. Each outcome must be linked to 18.5% of the random numbers. Therefore the set of numbers from 0 to 184 would meet this requirement.
