Boolean Variables in Programming Simulations

Which of the following simulations will generate a result that would best be stored using a Boolean variable?

Answer choices: A simulation of flipping a fair coin. A simulation of rolling a fair die (with sides numbered 1 through 6.) A simulation of the temperature in a location over time. A simulation of traffic patterns on a road.

The simulations will generate a result that would best be stored using a Boolean variable is a simulation of flipping a fair coin.

Boolean is a common datatype in many programming languages. It only has two values, which are true and false. This means that simulations using boolean variables must have a maximum of two values.

The simulation of flipping a fair coin is ideal for storing results in a boolean variable because it only has two outcomes: head or tail. On the other hand, simulations of rolling a die, monitoring temperature, and observing traffic patterns involve multiple values that cannot be effectively stored in a boolean variable.
