An analyst is simulating demand, which is hypothesized to follow a uniform distribution in the range of $[20,39]$. Allowing only integer values, picking 2-digit random numbers and associating 00-04 with 20, 05-09 with 21, etc., what will be the simulated demand corresponding to a random number choice of 43 ?
A) 28
B) 27
C) 26
D) 29

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The range $[20,39]$ includes 20 integer values. The mapping starts from 00-04 for 20, so 43 falls in the range for 28 (since 40-44 would map to 28, following the pattern where each 5-unit range of numbers maps to a consecutive integer in the specified range).
