Answer 3

is what I got.

Answer 4

207, 484, 363

916, 207, 484

162, 484, 036

162, 074, 487

Answer 5

those are the options I have though

Answer 6

Here is where I found mine.

Answer 7

Those options are not on line 102. I don't think the table of random digits was necessary.

Just select 3 numbers between and including 001 and 609.

How did you get your answer?

Answer 8

I did the numbers in the middle

Answer 9

Something is not right with the options or the questions.

Three of the four options are are made of numbers between 001 and 609 inclusive.

Answer 10

162, 484, 036, 068, 525, 256, 061, 161, 277, 498

Answer 11

hold on im going to check on my book for examples brb

Answer 12

I have to see which of my list match with the options.

Answer 13

ohhh ok hold on I think I got it

Answer 14

162, 484, 036

My first three numbers from row 102 are one of the options.

And, the rival options are not in my list.

Answer 15

I read each table entry on that row taking 3 at the time to find integers between 001 and 609. The digits are arranged in groups of 5 for "ease" of reading.

Answer 16

> I did the numbers in the middle

You have to look at all of the digits. You had the advantage of the options which is probably why you looked at the middle 3 digits of each entry of 5 digits on line 102.

Answer 17

this is the example I have in my textbook

Answer 18

it tell me to look at them like this

Answer 19

207

Answer 20

I know but in a table of random digits, it is not random to systematically look at the middle 3 digits.

Answer 21

but there is only one that matches :/
