Question

a random number generator is used to model the patterns of animals in the wild. this type of study is called

○ a survey.
○ a random sample.
○ an experiment.
○ a simulation.

Explanation:

A survey involves collecting data from a group, a random sample is a subset of a population, an experiment manipulates variables, while a simulation uses a model (like a random number generator) to mimic real - world processes (here, animal patterns in the wild). So the correct option is the one related to simulation.

Answer:

D. a simulation.
