Anyone willing to take me through how to do this probability question?

Probability theory predicts that there is a 12% chance of a particular softball player hitting 2 home runs in a row. Which of these numbers of simulations of the softball player hitting balls would be most likely to produce results that are closest to those predicted by probability?

A. 70
B. 90
C. 100
D. 80

it's easier than you might think :)

when you're simulating something, the highest number of simulations will give you the results that are closest to the predicted value

Okay, that makes sense, I think. Now how would I go about finding that highest number?

vocaloid · Answer

between A, B, C, and D, which is the highest?

anonymous · Answer

C.

vocaloid · Answer

yup, that's it.

I agree with C as well

anonymous · Answer

Wait, C is the correct option just because it is highest?

vocaloid · Answer

yup, it's honestly that simple

Wow. I got lost in all of the words to be honest. Thanks @Vocaloid :)
