Criticize the Following Simulation: a Student Simulates Math Test Scores

question 7

Multiple Choice

Criticize the following simulation: A student simulates math test scores by choosing a random number between 0 and 100.

• A)The simulation should model the real situation.
• B)The simulation probably will not model the real situation.For example,the simulation will predict just as many scores between 10 and 20 as between 70 and 80.In reality,the distribution of grades will not be so uniform.
• C)The simulation probably will not model the real situation.Most students dislike math.
• D)The simulation cannot model the real situation.The test performance of an individual student is inherently unpredictable.
• E)The simulation will not model the real situation.It fails to account for the amount of time each student spent studying for the exam.

Definitions:

P-Value

The probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the ones observed during the test, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

Capital Punishment

A legal penalty in some jurisdictions where the state executes a person as a punishment for a crime.

Uniformly Distributed

A distribution where all outcomes are equally likely to occur, each observation within a certain range has the same probability.
