B)average
C)expected
D)estimated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A steady state is reached when the variable being investigated reaches an average value that remains constant over multiple simulation runs. Option A (optimal) suggests that there is a single best value, which may not be true in all cases. Option C (expected) suggests a specific value, which may not be accurate or constant over multiple runs. Option D (estimated) suggests a guess or approximation, which may not be reliable for determining a steady state.
