C. a number cube simulation with a six-sided number cube, where rolling a 3 indicates that side effect will be present
This simulation best models the situation because it represents the 7 percent probability of experiencing side effects by having one specific outcome (rolling a 3) out of six possible outcomes on the number cube.
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? (1 point)
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 effect will be present
D. a coin simulation, with heads indicating that side effects will be present

Quick Check Answers
Q1. A study was conducted to determine which school meal ought to be removed from the weekly rotation. Every student in the school was asked to rank their top three school lunches. Tuna melts were found to be the least-favored option, with only 7.8 percent of students ranking tuna melts in their top three choices. Which of the following accurately differentiates whether this is an example of an observational study, an experimental study, or a survey?
A1. This is a survey since opinions were collected
Q2. A researcher is interested in finding out which multivitamins are most widely used by Americans. He randomly samples 3,188 individuals, collecting and recording information about their multivitamin use. Which of the following accurately identifies the study design used here?
A2. survey
