A Uniform distribution has end points of 450 and 500,which represent the time limits for a production operation.A manager wants to simulate two times from this distribution,and has obtained the numbers 44 and 10 from a two-digit random number table.Respectively,the two simulated times are:
A) 460 and 494.
B) 472 and 455.
C) 455 and 472.
D) 494 and 460.
E) none of the choices are correct.

The random numbers 44 and 10 are converted to the uniform distribution range [450, 500] using the formula: simulated time = 450 + (random number/100) * (500 - 450). This gives 472 for 44 and 455 for 10.
