Assignment Help Basic Statistics
Reference no: EM131644590

Question: Consider a situation where there is a cost that is either incurred or not. It is incurred only if the value of some random input is less than a specified cutoff value. Why might a simulation of this situation give a very different average value of the cost incurred than a deterministic model that treats the random input as fixed at its mean? What does this have to do with the "flaw of averages"?
