Question

Please help me, I will give you a shiny medal c:




A college employs 86 ​full-time faculty members. To gain the​ faculty's opinions about an upcoming building​ project, the college president wishes to obtain a simple random sample that will consist of 9 faculty members. He numbers the faculty from 1 to 86.
The president uses technology to produce the following random numbers.
50  29  39  7  40  29  28  35  30 27
Determine the numbers for 9 faculty members who will be included in the sample.


The numbers for the faculty members are: ?

What am I supposed to do? I know this is a SRS

Answer 1

Do I place this in the calculator or no?

Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 Please help :,< I'm not sure what to do

Answer 3

Do I put my own SRS outcome with a calculator or do I do something else?

Answer 4

I'm not exactly sure what this is asking. They mention a SRS of 9 people, but they generated 10 random numbers. The values aren't matching up here.

Answer 5

Oh, I wasn't sure what they were asking either :/

Answer 6

I guess you just list the first 9 values of the list `50  29  39  7  40  29  28  35  30 27`

Answer 7

oh
There was a previous section to this question, do you think they want me to take an SRS for the previous list or?

Answer 8

I'm not sure. I'd have to see the full thing

Answer 9

I got the previous question incorrect, :( but that's the whole question

Answer 10

Are you using a calculator? or random number table?

Answer 11

a random number table

Answer 12

please post that too

Answer 13

im sorry about that, thanks for taking your time:)

Answer 14

part of the table is cut off

Answer 15

where?

Answer 16

where it shows row number 04

Answer 17

it ends at row 6 oops

Answer 18

sorry about that

Answer 19

So the numbers in the box for part A is the wrong answer?

Or is that the correct answer (but the red mark means you got it wrong)?

Answer 20

I got it wrong, and the correct answer is in the red box :)

Answer 21

They replaced my wrong answer thankfully

Answer 22

Ok so the table is a bit strange but it's still doable. What value is at row 3, column 6?

Answer 23

8 9 2 4 7

Answer 24

I'm only concerned with column6 for now

Answer 25

so the whole column 6 values then?

Answer 26

hopefully you see how '8' is at row3, column6 ?

Answer 27

yes :) I see 8 is there

Answer 28

what's directly below it?

Answer 29

8

Answer 30

on row 4 right?

Answer 31

yes

Answer 32

those two digits pair up to get 88

but there is no member 88. The highest number is 86

Answer 33

so we skip to the next pair of digits in column 6 below the second '8'

Answer 34

OOH! I did everything horizontally oops. So then it would be 45?

Answer 35

yeah like I said: this table is weird

Answer 36

instead of reading in the normal way (left to right, top to bottom) you read down the columns and move your way to the right after you get to the bottom of each column

Answer 37

is this how I would do it?

Answer 38

I'm so stupid I read it left to right, rather than directly down like that

Answer 39

I'd use different colors though

Answer 40

but yeah marking up the table like that is handy

Answer 41

yeah, I should probably do that with different colors not to get confused

Answer 42

as for part B, I'm still not sure. But I'm thinking that you just list the first 9 values. Each value is under 86 so you wouldn't skip anything .

Answer 43

I guess another way is to just read off each digit one at a time then pair them up to form 2 digit numbers. That seems a bit more complicated than it has to be though

Answer 44

I don't really understand it still :c so I combine them?

Answer 45

oh wait, 29 is listed twice

Answer 46

so you skip over that second "29"

Answer 47

I'd just list the values as you see them. Skip over that second "29" though

Answer 48

so 50, 29, 39, 7, 40, 28, 35, 30, 27?

Answer 49

yes

Answer 50

Yay!!!!! It's correct! wow! Thanks so much! your a genius!

Answer 51

you're welcome
