Randomness in AnyLogic models The world we live in is non‐deterministic. If today it took you 35 minutes to get to work, tomorrow it may be an hour, so when you set off in the morning you never know exactly how long it will take. You may know that on Friday evening on average 30 people come to your restaurant for dinner, but the time the first customer comes in tells you nothing about when you should expect the next one. John Smith who works for you as a salesman may have excellent skills, but when he is dealing with a particular prospect you never know for sure if he will be able to close the deal. When your company starts a new R&D project, you always hope it will bring you revenue in the end, but you always know it can fail. If you contact a person with flu you can get infected or you can successfully resist it. You are alive today, but nobody knows if you will be alive tomorrow.
