Question

12. A farmer grows carrots, potatoes, and green beans to sell at the market. 40% of his crop is

carrots, 40% is potatoes, and 20% of his crop is green beans. He wants to run a simulation of
his crop using a random digit table.
(1 point)
Which values should be used in this simulation?
OUse number 4 to represent carrots, number 4 to represent potatoes, and number 2 to represent green
beans.
OUse number 0 to represent carrots, number 1 to represent potatoes, and number 2 to represent green
beans.
OUse numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 to represent carrots, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to represent potatoes, and 9 and 10 to
represent green beans.
OUse number 0, 1, 2, and 3 to represent carrots, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to represent potatoes, and 8 and 9 to
represent green beans.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To represent the different crops in the simulation, we should use the values that correspond to the percentages mentioned in the problem.

According to the given information:

40% of the crop is carrots

40% of the crop is potatoes

20% of the crop is green beans

The option that correctly represents these percentages is:

Use number 0, 1, 2, and 3 to represent carrots, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to represent potatoes, and 8 and 9 to represent green beans.

Therefore, we should use number 0, 1, 2, and 3 to represent carrots, number 4, 5, 6, and 7 to represent potatoes, and number 8 and 9 to represent green beans in the simulation.
