Your answer is CORRECT.
The mathematics department is considering revising how statistics is taught. In order to see if their
changes will be effective in increasing student performance, they decided to run a Simulated
Experiment. Previous semesters have that 50% of students receive an A in the class, 20% receive
a B, and 10% receive a C. How would you assign values so you can use a Random Digit Table to
run this experiment?
a) Assign 1 digit numbers as follows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are A; 5, 6 are B; 7 is C; 8, 9 are other grades.
b) Assign 1 digit numbers as follows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are A; 5, 6 are B; 7 is C; 8, 9 are D.
c) Assign 2 digit numbers as follows: 00-50 are A; 00-20 are B; 00-10 are C.
d) This experiment cannot be simulated using a random digit table.

were receiving. The researcher did not know which group each subject was assigned to until after
he documented their change in symptoms and any side effects. This lack of knowledge describes
