Question:
By using the random number table (Table 2.1), draw a sample of 10 height measurements from Table 2.2. This sample is said to have size 10, or n = 10.
The rows and columns in Table 2.2 have numbers, which in combination are the “addresses” of specific height measurements. For example, the number defined by row 15, column 4 denotes the 154th height measurement, or 61.
Use two indices based on numbers from Table 2.1. Draw one random number to select the row between 1 and 50 and another to choose the column between 1 and 8. Use the rejection method. List the ten values you have selected by this process. What name is given to the kind of sample you have selected?
