Shoe sizes for females range from Size 5 to Size 13 with the average shoe size being between Sizes 8 and 9.
A student uses a random number from 5 to 13 to simulate the shoe sizes of a population of females.
Which of the following statements is the most appropriate evaluation of this simulation?

Question

Shoe sizes for females range from Size 5 to Size 13 with the average shoe size being between Sizes 8 and 9. 
 A student uses a random number from 5 to 13 to simulate the shoe sizes of a population of females. 
 Which of the following statements is the most appropriate evaluation of this simulation?

Answer

The simulation will not model the real situation. To accurately model the population, the simulation should also account for the foot width.

Answer

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.

Answer

The simulation will not model the real situation. Some females have foot sizes that fall outside of the range.

Answer

The simulation will not model the real situation. The shoes size of a particular female is unpredictable and cannot be modeled.

Answer

The simulation should model the real situation.
