Use simulation to decide whether data are consistent with a proposed model.

Identify a limitation in a simulation setup

Problem

What limitation appears in this simulation setup: only \(20\) simulated trials?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Assess a simulation separately for model accuracy, independence, and number of repetitions. With only a small trial count, each additional success changes the relative frequency by a large step, so repeated runs can give noticeably different estimates. Increasing the number of independent trials improves stability, but it cannot repair a probability model or outcome mapping that was wrong from the start.
