6. You want to create a simulation of the following scenario. The population of school A is made up of 25% 9th graders, 25% 10th graders, 25% 11th graders, and 25% 12th gr

up of 40% 9th graders, 30% 10th graders, 20 % 11th graders, and 10% 12th graders.
What is the best way to assign values for a simulation using a random digits table?
O
School A: 9th grade is represented with 0 and 1. 10th grade is represented with 2 and 3. 11th grade is represented with 4 and 5. 12th grade is represented with 6 and 7.
School B: 9th grade is represented with 0 and 1. 10th grade is represented with 2 and 3. 11th grade is represented with 4 and 5. 12th grade is represented with 6 and 7.
School A: 9th grade is represented with 0. 10th grade is represented with 1. 11th grade is represented with 2. 12th grade is represented with 3. All other values are igno

The best way to assign values for a simulation using a random digits table for this scenario would be:School A: 9th grade is represented with 0 and 1. 10th grade is represented with 2 and 3. 11th grade is represented with 4 and 5. 12th grade is represented with 6 and 7.School B: 9th grade is represented with 0, 1, 2, and 3. 10th grade is represented with 4, 5, and 6. 11th grade is represented with 7 and 8. 12th grade is represented with 9.This method assigns two digits to each grade level in School A, allowing for an equal chance of selecting each grade level. In School B, four digits are assigned to 9th grade, three digits are assigned to 10th grade, two digits are assigned to 11th grade, and one digit is assigned to 12th grade, reflecting the percentage breakdown of the population.
