Suppose that there are two candidates for the president of your school's student government,Candidate A and Candidate B.We believe that Candidate A has about a 52% of the votes of the student body.However,you're worried that only 1000 students will show up to vote.How often will Candidate A lose in this situation? To find out,you set up a simulation.Describe how you will simulate a trial.
A) A trial is 100 votes.Examine 1,000 2-digit random numbers and count how many people voted for Candidate B.That number wins that trial.
B) A trial is 1,000 votes.Examine 1,000 3-digit random numbers and count how many people voted for each candidate.Whoever gets the majority of votes wins that trial.
C) A trial is 100 votes.Examine 100 2-digit random numbers and count how many people voted for each candidate.Whoever gets the majority of votes wins that trial.
D) A trial is 10 votes.Examine 10 1-digit random numbers and count how many people voted for each player.Whoever gets the majority of votes wins that trial.
E) A trial is 1,000 votes.Examine 1,000 3-digit random numbers and only count how many people voted for Candidate A.That number wins that trial.
