You know that a certain trait occurs in 30 of the population

You know that a certain trait occurs in 30% of the population. You want to know how many individuals you have to draw from the population, on average, to get three subjects with the trait.

A. Describe how you would use a table of random numbers to do a simulation of this situation.

B. Use the table of random numbers below to carry out five repetitions in the simulation method you described in (A) above. Mark the table so that it\'s clear to the reader how you did the simulation. Begin with the first element of the first row. If it\'s necessary to continue on past the first row, start at the beginning of each row. Based on your five simulations, what\'s your best guess as to the number of trials required to achieve three successes?
