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

Since there are 100 total tallies and 45 of them correspond to behavior A, the interval for behavior A should be from 00 to 44 (inclusive), since a random number of 45 or above would correspond to behavior B. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 00 to 44.
