Biology and computer science students are collaborating on a model of how a group of 50 bees pollinates a two-acre field of flowers. Which of the following factors would be the biggest limitation to the accuracy of the model?
  1. Insufficient computing power to simulate the entire group of bees.
  2. Insufficient scientific data on bee behavior.
  3. Insufficient ability to collect data on the precise movement of bees.
  4. Insufficient mathematical tools to calculate speed and acceleration values.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. Even a relatively low-powered computer should be able to model 50 points moving in three dimensional space. B is incorrect because ample data should exist, as bees are a common creature and raised at scale in an agricultural setting. C is incorrect because students are unlikely to have access to sensors of a size and resolution to track individual bees. D is incorrect because calculating speed and acceleration calculations from position and time data are trivial.
