Here is a list of 30 students, numbered from 00 to 29. One of the primary principles of experimental design is to use treatment and control groups. Use your random number table, starting with the first line (line 101), to put exactly 6 of these students into a treatment group. List the students in the treatment group in the order their numbers come up in the table.
We would need your random number table to do this. Directions seem explicit enough.
To randomize your selection you want to use the random numbers and let them pick the students. Go through the table given you, and look at the last two numbers of your random number set, when you find a number ending between 00 and 29 , pick the student with that number as your first subject. Continue and get your next student from the next number between 00 and 29 in your table. Pick six students in this order.
I don't understand it.
They want you to pick students in an unbiased manner. They want you to select them using random numbers, so that you are not influenced by things like whether they are male or female, native or foreign. So they have y0u use the random numbers to pick the first six, by having six of those from 00 to 29 selected by the random number from your table. E.G., number xxxx23 would mean add #23 to the six you are going to use. Ignore my note, as I have found your question.
