Criticize the following simulation: A student uses a random number from 5 to 13 to simulate the shoe sizes of a population of females.
A)The simulation will not model the real situation.It will predict too many small sizes and too many large sizes.Extremes in foot size are not all that common.
B)The simulation will not model the real situation.Some females have foot sizes that fall outside of the range.
C)The simulation will not model the real situation.The shoes size of a particular female is unpredictable and cannot be modeled.
D)The simulation will not model the real situation.To accurately model the population,the simulation should also account for the foot width.
E)The simulation should model the real situation.

The simulation will not accurately model the real situation because it assumes a uniform distribution of shoe sizes, which is not realistic. In reality, shoe sizes are likely to follow a normal distribution, with fewer individuals having extremely small or large sizes.
