Practice questions

1 of 21Practice questions for this set
A weather app prototype generates a random daily temperature between 50–85°F and random rain chance for practice testing. Randomness is necessary because real weather changes and cannot be perfectly known ahead of time. Some simulated weeks show several rainy days, while others show none at all. The student uses these varied results to test how the display handles different forecasts. Based on the scenario above, what could be a potential outcome if random values were not used in this simulation?
