1.3.59 Question Help The members of a population have been numbered 1-258. A sample of size 5 is to be taken from the population, using systematic random sampling. Complete parts (a) and (b) below Click the icon to view a partial table of random numbers Click the icon to view the procedure for systematic random sampling a. Apply the procedure in the popup to determine the sample (that is, the numbers cormesponding to the members of the population that are included in the sample) using the provided random-number table. To use the random-number table, start at the two-digit number at the top left, read down the column, up the next, and so orn The value of k for this sample is Type a whole number.) om-Number Table Procedure for Systematic Random Sampling 42126 65790 35590 58025 48104 06065 Procedure for Systematic Random Sampling First, divide the population size by the sample size and round the result down to the nearest whole number, m PrintDone Then, use a random-number table or a similar device to obtain a number, k, between 1 and m. Check Answer Finally, select for the sample those members of the population that are numbered k, k + m, k+ 2m,

Explanation / Answer

a. Here population size = 258

sample size = 5

so m = 258/5 = 51.6 or 52

Now we will select a random number k in between 1 and m or say 1 and 52. Here from random number tablewe find

k = 42

and the values to be sampled are 42, 94, 146, 198, 250
