3.16 Simulations

Simulation Definition An abstraction of complex objects or phenomena for a specific purpose

Simulations remove specific details and simplifies functionality of possibly infinitely complex things, which can lead to bias depending on what is removed.

Simulations give the ability to study real world phenomena and form or refine hypotheses about them without real world constraints like time and money.

Random Values (3.15) can be used to simulate real world variability.

Practice problems can be found in this and this Khan Academy link.
