A psychologist wishes to conduct a study on the effects of music deprivation on high school students. A high school class consists of the 30 students numbered in the list below. The researcher establishes a treatment group of 15 students who will have their portable music players replaced by experimental players that present the sound of water running.

Answer 4

The table can be used in various ways. In this case two-digit numbers need to be used. A suitable method is to select the first two digits in each group of five numbers, giving:
59, 44, 15, 09, 00, 74, 02, 57, 16 and 38.
Then select the next pair of digits in each group of five numbers, giving:
78, 31, 95, 23, 04, 31, 61, 39, 84 and 45.
Discard numbers greater than 29, and chose the students.

Answer 5

So the third student is Aaron right @kropot72

Answer 7

Using the selection method that I chose, the third to be selected is Aaron. Another method of selecting from the line of random numbers could have given a different result for the third to be selected.
