What this Experiments, Simulation and Smart Decisions quiz checks

  • A result that appears in under about 5% of simulations is unlikely under the model.
  • Random assignment in an experiment lets differences be attributed to the treatment.
  • Re-randomizing group labels shows how large differences are by chance alone.
  • Reports should be judged by how data were collected, sample size and whether the claim exceeds the data.
  • Expected value = sum of (payoff × probability); a fair game has expected net value 0.

The 10 questions of the quiz

  1. What does a simulation estimate?
  2. In 400 simulated trials an event occurred 60 times. The estimated probability is
  3. The histogram shows heads in 20 fair flips. About how often are 14 or more heads seen?
  4. Why is random assignment used in an experiment?
  5. A researcher wants to claim that a treatment caused a change. Which design allows it?
  6. A result happened in 3 of 100 re-randomized simulations. At a 5% cutoff, the result is
  7. The histogram shows re-randomized differences. A difference of 4 or more occurred in how many runs?
  8. A game costs $4 and pays $12 with probability 1/4, else $0. The expected net value is
  9. Which poll is most likely biased?
  10. Plan A pays $500 for sure. Plan B pays $900 with probability 0.5. Which has the greater expected value?
