If a value in a simulation model behaves in a random fashion but follows a statistical distribution pattern, what are the implications of this?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Even though a value behaves in a random fashion, it is possible that this value follows a pattern called a statistical distribution, a mathematical equation specifying the probability that a random variable takes on a certain value. If we know this pattern, then the computer can generate a sequence of random numbers that follows this pattern, and this sequence will accurately model the real-life activity.
