LEARN · EXPLAIN · REVISE

A program’s pseudo-random outputs are reused with the same seed. Does that create new independent evidence each rerun?

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

TOPIC 01

Probability: mixed assessment

A mixed assessment: identify the method, justify it and revise your reasoning.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Distinguish observed relative frequency from a model probability and describe the experiment.

Hint 2

Inspect whether the sequence actually changes.

Worked solution

Distinguish observed relative frequency from a model probability and describe the experiment.
Calculate or simplify this relation.
$\text{same seed}\Rightarrow\text{same deterministic sequence}$
Reproducibility is valuable but does not multiply the number of independent runs.

No; reproducing the same sequence repeats the same simulated observations.

Checks and common pitfalls: Reproducibility is valuable but does not multiply the number of independent runs.
