Monte Carlo sampling differs from Latin Hypercube sampling in that the Monte Carlo sampling .
A) results in a more even distribution of output values
B) uses the entire range of the distribution in a more consistent manner
C) selects random variates independently over the entire range of possible values of the distribution
D) uses an uncertain variable whose probability distribution is divided into intervals of equal probability

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monte Carlo sampling selects random variates independently over the entire range of possible values of the distribution, while Latin Hypercube sampling divides the probability distribution into intervals of equal probability. Therefore, C is the correct choice. A, B, and D do not accurately describe the differences between Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube sampling.
