a. For each of the following independent problems, design an unbiased random sampling plan using the random number table in Table 11-2. The plan should include defining the sampling unit, establishing a numbering system for the population, and establishing a correspondence between the random number table and the population. After the plan has been designed, select the first five sample items from the random number table for each problem. Use a starting point of row 1009, column 1, for each problem. Read down the table using the left¬ most digits in the column. When you reach the last item in a column, go to the top of the next column.

1. Prenumbered sales invoices in a sales journal where the lowest invoice number is 1 and the highest is 6211.
2. Prenumbered bills of lading where the lowest document number is 21926 and the highest is 28511.
b. Use an available random number generator in a spread¬ sheet or other source to obtain the above samples with the computer.
