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 component and its outcomes.
A) The component is one voter voting.An outcome is a vote for Candidate A.Use three random digits,giving 000-599 a vote for Candidate A and 600-999 as no vote
B) The component is one hundred voters voting.An outcome is a vote for Candidate A.Use one random digit,giving 0-5 as vote for Candidate A and 6-9 as no vote.
C) The component is one voter voting.An outcome is a vote for the candidate or not.Use three random digits,giving 000-519 as a vote for Candidate A and 520-999 as a vote for Candidate B.
D) The component is ten voters voting.An outcome is a vote yes or no for the referendum.Use two random digits,giving 00-51 as a vote for Candidate A and 52-99 as a vote for Candidate B.
E) The component is one voter voting.An outcome is a vote for the candidate or not.Use three random digits,giving 000-520 as a vote for Candidate A and 521-999 as a vote for Candidate B.
