| danlan | II is required so we can use the proba to generate samples. |
| surob | how about I? Why is it correct answer? |
| bdaguy | This isn't addressed in the notes but is true as it relates to measuring the change in a specified output when altering given inputs. By observing the amount of change in the output, it helps determine the most critical (ie. most important) inputs. |
