Question

On a recent test, Ahmed knew many of the answers, but there were four questions he was unsure of. In each of the four questions, he was able to eliminate two answers as being clearly wrong and was left with three answer choices to choose from. In each of the four questions, he randomly selected one of the remaining three answers. Which of these statements describes how Ahmed could simulate this situation with a random number generator to determine if he will select the correct answers for these four questions?

A. It is impossible to simulate this with a random number generator without knowing what the correct answer choices were.

B. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the RandInt(1,4) command three times to select three integers from 1 to 4. Let a 1 indicate a correct guess, and a 2, 3, or 4 indicate an incorrect guess. Count the number of 1s to correspond to the number of correct guesses.

C. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the RandInt(1,4) command to select a random integer from 1 to 4. This would be the number of correct guesses he made on the four questions.

D. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the RandInt(1,3) command four times to select four integers from 1 to 3. Let a 1 indicate a correct guess, and a 2 or 3 indicate an incorrect guess. Count the number of 1s to correspond to the number of correct guesses.

E. Using his calculator, Ahmed could use the RandInt(1,5) command four times to select four integers from 1 to 5. Let a 1 indicate a correct guess, and a 2, 3, 4, or 5 indicate an incorrect guess. Count the number of 1s to correspond to the number of correct guesses.
