Suppose it is known that approximately 7 percent of adults who take a certain medication will experience side effects. Which of the following simulations could model the number of individuals who will experience side effects if the medication is given to 390 adults?
A. a random number chart simulation with 100 numbers, where drawing a 23 indicates that side effects will be present
B. a spinner simulation with 14 equally spaced sections, with section 2 indicating that side effects will be present
C. a number cube simulation with a six-sided number cube, where rolling a 3 indicates that side effects will be present
D. a coin simulation, with heads indicating that side effects will be present
C. a number cube simulation with a six-sided number cube, where rolling a 3 indicates that side effects will be present
This simulation would model the situation accurately, as it represents the 7 percent likelihood of experiencing side effects when taking the medication. Each roll of the number cube would represent one adult taking the medication, with a 3 indicating that side effects will be present.
