A town has 10,000 two-child families. Design a simulation to estimate the percentage of two-child families with two girls. Choose a simulation tool, explain one trial, and describe the headings for a table in which you would record the outcomes. Answer in 1-3 sentences
One possible simulation tool is randomly generating numbers between 0 and 1 and considering any number greater than 0.5 as a girl (assuming equal likelihood of having a girl or a boy). In one trial, we could run the simulation for 10,000 two-child families and calculate the percentage of families with two girls. The headings for the table could be "Trial Number" and "Percentage of Families with Two Girls".
Thats wrong
I apologize for the incorrect response. To accurately simulate the percentage of two-child families with two girls, we would need to randomly assign a gender (boy or girl) to each child in each family. We could use a programming language like Python to run the simulation. One trial could involve simulating the gender of 10,000 two-child families and counting the number of families with two girls. The headings for the table could be "Trial Number" and "Percentage of Two-Girl Families".
