When you run your RandomNumber.frm program, do you get the same exact results as the example shown on the direction sheet?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
The answer is "No" because when running the RandomNumber.frm program, the results may vary due to the nature of random numbers. Random numbers are generated based on certain algorithms and seed values, so each time the program is run, it may produce different results. Therefore, it is unlikely that the exact same results as the example shown on the direction sheet will be obtained.Rate this question:

Why or why not?
- A.
The output is the same because I did it correctly.
- B.
The output is different because the numbers are random.
Correct Answer
B. The output is different because the numbers are random.Explanation
The given correct answer states that the output is different because the numbers are random. This implies that the outcome of the task or calculation is influenced by the random nature of the numbers involved. As a result, even if the person claims to have completed the task correctly, the randomness of the numbers used would still lead to a different output. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that the randomness of the numbers is the reason for the difference in output.Rate this question:

What line of code guarantees that the results will be truly random?
- A.
Dim UpTo100 As Integer
- B.
Randomize
- C.
UpTo100 = 100 * Rnd
- D.
LblUpTo100 = UpTo100
Correct Answer
B. RandomizeExplanation
The line of code "Randomize" guarantees that the results will be truly random. This function initializes the random number generator with a seed value based on the system timer. By calling this function before generating random numbers, it ensures that each time the program runs, a different seed value is used, resulting in a different sequence of random numbers.Rate this question:

What is the keyword in Visual Basic that produces a random number between 0 and 1?
- A.
Randomize
- B.
Rnd
- C.
LessOne
- D.
Random
Correct Answer
B. RndExplanation
The keyword in Visual Basic that produces a random number between 0 and 1 is "Rnd". This keyword is used in conjunction with the "Randomize" keyword to initialize the random number generator. By calling "Rnd", a random number between 0 and 1 is generated.Rate this question:

What type of numbers exist between 0 and 1?
- A.
Integers
- B.
Decimals (Single)
Correct Answer
B. Decimals (Single)Explanation
The correct answer is "Decimals (Single)" because between 0 and 1, there are a range of numbers that are not whole numbers or integers. These numbers are called decimals, and in this case, specifically "single" decimals, which means they have only one digit after the decimal point. Decimals represent fractions or parts of a whole number, allowing for more precise representation of values between whole numbers.Rate this question:

Describe the number that will be stored in memory because of this line of code in cmdTen. LessTen = 10 * Rnd
- A.
A random decimal number less than 10 such as 2.3482 or 9.3627
- B.
A random integer less than 10 such as 2 or 9
- C.
A random decimal number between 0 and 1 such as .23 or .93
- D.
A random integer as small or big as the computer will allow
Correct Answer
A. A random decimal number less than 10 such as 2.3482 or 9.3627Explanation
Example: 10 * .34201 results in 3.4201
Example: 10 * .9999 results in 9.999
Example: 10 * .1047 results in 1.047

Describe the number that will be stored in the variable, UpTo5, because of this line of code in cmdFive. UpTo5 = 5 * Rnd
- A.
A random decimal less than 5
- B.
A random decimal from 0 to 5
- C.
A random integer from 0 to 5
- D.
A random integer from 0 to 5000
Correct Answer
C. A random integer from 0 to 5Explanation
Since UpTo5 is declared as an integer whatever number is stored in it must be an integer. When an attempt to store a decimal occurs, the digits after the decimal point will be chopped off. Depending on the programming language the number might be rounded to the nearest integer.
Example: 5 * .00005 results in .00025 which rounds to 0 Example: 5 * .1047 results in .5235 which rounds to 1
Example: 5 * .34201 results in 1.71005 which rounds to 2
Example: 5 * .541 results in 2.705 which rounds to 3
Example: 5 * .6 results in 3
Example: 5 * .8 results in 4
Example: 5 * .987 results in 4.935 which rounds to 5Rate this question:

To have a program user pick the highest number, use a textbox to get the number and multiply Rnd by the numerical variable where that number is stored.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because to have a program user pick the highest number, we can use a textbox to get the number input from the user. Then, we can generate a random number using the Rnd function and multiply it by the numerical variable where the highest number is stored. This way, we can ensure that the user picks the highest number based on the random value generated.Rate this question:
