Of all the students in a particular class, 50% have blue eyes. We want to run a simulation to predict how many blue eye students will be chosen if we randomly select 10 students. First, we need to assign digits to students that have blue eyes and students that do not have blue eyes. If we were to use single digits to represent both, which of the following would be a correct method of assigning these digits?

A. blue eyes: 0, 1, 2, 3 other: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

B. blue eyes: 1, 2, 3, 4 other: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

C. blue eyes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 other: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

D. blue eyes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 other: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Well since 50 percent of the whole class has blue eyes, it would make the most sense if half the data included half the blue eyed kids and the other half would be the others
