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

We can use the formula y = a + (b-a)x to simulate a variable that is uniformly distributed between a and b, where x is a random number between 0 and 1. In this case, a = 100 and b = 200, so the formula becomes y = 100 + (200-100)x = 100 + 100x. Therefore, the best choice is C.
