Monte Carlo Simulation

Monte Carlo Simulation is a way to run the same random test many times to see what outcomes are most likely.

Think of it this way

Roll a die a thousand times to find which number wins most often. A computer does this millions of times in seconds. The results show you what will probably happen.
