If x is a random number between 0 and 1,then we can use x to simulate a variable that is uniformly distributed between 100 and 200 using the formula:
A) 100 + x
B) 200 -x
C) 100 + 100x
D) 200x

Since we want to simulate a variable that is uniformly distributed between 100 and 200, we need to find a formula that maps the range of [0,1] to [100,200]. The formula that accomplishes this is 100 + 100x, since plugging in 0 yields 100 and plugging in 1 yields 200, and any value in between will be linearly interpolated between those two values.
