Unit V: Probability Concept and Random Number Generation | BCA 7th Semester Simulation And Modeling Notes Pdf

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

A random number is a number generated by a process, whose outcome is unpredictable, and which cannot be subsequentially reliably reproduced. Random numbers are the basic building blocks for all simulation algorithms.
