Random Number Column Number A small community college employ

Random Number Column Number A small community college employs 58 full-time faculty members. To gain the faculty\'s opinions about upcoming contract negotiation, the president of the faculty union wishes to obtain a simple random sample that will consist of 5 faculty members. She numbers the faculty 1 to 58. Using Table 1 from Appendix A, the president of the faculty union closes her eyes and drops her ink pen on the table. It points to the digits in row 16, column 7. Using this position as the starting point and proceeding downward, determine the numbers for the 5 faculty members included in the sample.

Solution

Since memebers are numbered from 1 to 58 so for each selecting we have to conisder 2 digits. That is 01 is number 1. All the numbers greater than 58 must be ignored.

So selected numbers are

58,

01,

11,

33,

46,

--------------

Using downward we have following numbers :

58, 06, 55, 98, 85

As further table is not provided in your question so I am not able to give you complete sample. From above we have

58, 06 , 55

selected members.
