Question

Probability theory predicts that there is a 16% 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 theory?

A. 90
B. 80
C. 60
D. 70

Answer 1

the answer is B.80 OR D.70

Answer 2

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. So the answer is A. 90.
