Question

A study finds that out of every 200 babies born in the world, 14 have some kind of major birth defect What is the simplest way to assign random numbers to conduct a simulation based on this statistic? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice O A. Use two-digit numbers 00-99, let00represent babies born with some kind of major birth defect.represent babies born without a major birth defect, and skip-99 O c use one igit numbers 0 9 let 0 represent babies born with some kind of major birth defect represent babies born without a ma or birth defect and skip 0-9 O D. Use two-digit numbers 00-99 let 00 represent babies born with some kind of major birth defect andrepresent babies born without a major birth defect

Explanation / Answer

Given

n=200

p=14/200=0.07

1-p=0.93

We can divide the data into 2 sets

1. Babies having major birth defect

2. Babies not having a major birth defect

Hence we divide into 00-99 and 00-99 as 2 groups

So out of 100 we see 7 having defects and 93 without defects

00-07 with defects and 93-99 is without defects

Option D

00-07 and 93-99
