A simulation was used, to predict how many people prefer chicken over beef, using a two sided coin. In the model, a heads meant the person prefers chicken and a tails meant the person prefers beef. The simulation was used for trials. The table below shows the results of the simulation.

Why could the simulation of using a two sided coin be consistent with a given data one might obtain using a sample for a survey?

In a certain high school, the probability that a student is taking environmental science is two -thirds. If the Statistics students wanted to use a simulation to determine the possible number of students taking the environmental science out of which simulation might be consistent with the true situation?
