Criticize the Following Simulation: a Student Uses a Random Number

question 6

Multiple Choice

Criticize the following simulation: A student uses a random number from 5 to 13 to simulate the shoe sizes of a population of females.

• A)The simulation will not model the real situation.It will predict too many small sizes and too many large sizes.Extremes in foot size are not all that common.
• B)The simulation will not model the real situation.Some females have foot sizes that fall outside of the range.
• C)The simulation will not model the real situation.The shoes size of a particular female is unpredictable and cannot be modeled.
• D)The simulation will not model the real situation.To accurately model the population,the simulation should also account for the foot width.
• E)The simulation should model the real situation.

Definitions:

Thermocouple

A type of sensor used to measure temperature, consisting of two different conductors that produce a voltage in response to a temperature change.

DC Voltage

Direct current voltage, where the flow of electric charge is in one direction.

AC Voltage

Alternating Current voltage, where the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction, commonly used in power supply systems worldwide.

Encoder

A rotary device that transmits position information; a device that transmits a fixed number of pulses for each revolution.
