B. 46, 47

C. 4, 6

D. 46, 25

Answer 1

This is the string of random digits

46547 17395 25765 11325 14071 61688

You want two-digit numbers between 01 and 50, so break it up into chunks of two and eliminate any string that is not between 01 and 50.

46 54 71 73 95 25 76 51 13 25 14 07 16 16 88

Answer 2

46 and 25

Answer 3

?

Answer 6

A biologist has determined that a particular osprey has a 70% chance of catching a fish on any given day. Carry out a simulation of twenty trials using the random number table below to find the probability that the osprey will actually catch a fish on all of the next three days. Explain your method. 945 025 354 793 236 106 746 981 105 012 832 180 250 871 835 793 726 864 496 947

A. Using the digits 0–7 to represent a caught fish, the probability of catching a fish on each of the next three days is 45%.

B. Using the digits 0–7 to represent a caught fish, the probability of catching a fish on each of the next three days is 65%.

C. Using the digits 0–6 to represent a caught fish, the probability of catching a fish on each of the next three days is 35%.

D. Using the digits 0–6 to represent a caught fish, the probability of catching a fish on each of the next three days is 7%.
