Answer to Problem 16E

No, this design is not valid.

Explanation of Solution

In the question a study was conducted to find out how many of the people in U.S. are left-handers. Thus the researcher claims that percentage came out is very low. So, we are interested in simulating a random sample of size 20 in which 10% are left-handed and we are interested in estimating the probability that 4 or more are left-handed. Thus, we have,

  00 to 09= Left handed10 to 99= Right handed

Now, since we use a random number generator to produce 20 different pairs of digits and since 00 to 09 corresponds with left-handed, this corresponds with a 10 in 100 chance of obtaining an individual who is left-handed or equivalently 10% .

However, the simulation design is then not valid because we are selecting 20 different pairs of digits and thus we are less likely to select a left-handed person after a left-handed person was selected and thus we are more likely to select a left-handed person after a right-handed person was selected.
