The quarterback Tom Brady completes 60% of his passes. To simulate the outcome of a single pass we use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to represent the outcome "the pass is completed" and the digits 6, 7, 8, and 9 to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed." To be confident that our simulation is accurate, one needs to:

A. Repeat the simulation several more times

B. Assign new digits to represent outcomes

C. Take the average of the results of Line 134 and Line 101

A. Repeat the simulation several more times

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the simulation model is to represent the effectivity of the passes.

The proportion of successful passes is 60%.

As we have 10 digits available, 6 (digits from 0 to 5) are used for the outcome "the pass is completed" and 4 (digits 6, 7, 8, and 9) to represent the outcome "the pass is not completed". This is correct, as it represents a probability of 60% of having a successful pass.

But to have a representative distribution of the possible and probable results, the simulation have to run enough times to have a stable distribution of the results.
