Answer to Problem 5.22E

  $A2381,B0012,A2367,B1198,A2396$ .

Explanation of Solution

First label the TVs from $01\text{ to }50$ . Using line $139$ , the random digits obtained are:

  $5558899404707084109843563569344839451719$

Looking at these random digits, the numbers obtained are:

  $55,58,89,94,04,70,70,84,10,98,43,56,35,69,34,48,39,45,17,19$

The first five eligible numbers are $04,10,43,35,\text{ and }34$ . These correspond to the following serial numbers (going across each row first): $A2381,B0012,A2367,B1198,A2396$ .
