In modeling a simulation, random numbers from 00 to 99 are assigned with the intervals determined from frequency distributions for each behavior occurrence. Assume there are two behaviors, A and B, out of 100 tallies. On Behavior A you record 45 tallies, and on Behavior B you record 55 tallies. Which of the following is a correct random-number interval for Behavior A?
A) 00 to 45
B) 00 to 44
C) 56 to 99
D) 55 to 100
E) 45 to 100

Behavior A, with 45 tallies out of 100, should have a random-number interval that covers 45 numbers. Since random numbers start at 00, the correct interval for Behavior A is 00 to 44, ensuring that exactly 45 numbers (00 through 44) are included.
