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.

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. This lack of variability makes it a poor simulation for modeling math test scores, as test scores are likely to be more varied and unevenly distributed.
