    The Role and Impact of Pseudorandom Numbers in Simulations Discussion 1 Why do we use pseudorandom numbers in simulations? How do pseudorandom numbers affect the accuracy of a simulation? We use pseudorandom numbers in simulations because we need to employ the use of random numbers. The only way to truly derive at random numbers would be by process of spinning a roulette wheel “(Taylor Il, 2011, p. 634)". The use of pseudorandom numbers provides an artificial manner of random number creation for use in simulations. Pseudorandom numbers are created through a mathematical process that are uniformly distributed, not reflective of a sequential pattern and maintain an efficient numerical technique “(Taylor Ill, 2011, p. 634)". The affect of pseudorandom numbers on a simulation can be extensive if the numbers are not significantly random. The lack of truly random numbers will cause invalid results, which means that the simulation is not practical for the intended use. If the pseudorandom numbers meet the criteria as mentioned in paragraph one above then the simulation will produce valid results “(Taylor Ill, 2011, p. 634)”. | — StudyXY
