Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a simulation, the uncertainty of the system is represented by random variables or uncertain variables which are assumed to follow specified probability distributions. These values are generated randomly using probability distributions and not controlled or selected by the decision maker. Therefore, the correct answer is C - randomly generated from the specified probability distributions.
