Question
The U.S. Department of Justice examined all reported cases of identity theft for U.S. residents aged 16 or older. Their data show that of all the reported incidents of identity theft in a recent year, 40% involved existing credit card accounts. You are to design a simulation of seven reported identity thefts showing which ones involve existing credit card accounts and which ones do not. How would you assign the random digits 0 through 9 to the two categories "Does" and "Does not" involve existing credit card accounts?
Assign digits so that 5 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Does" and 5 of the digits correspond to the answer "Does not."
Assign digits so that 4 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Does" and 6 of the digits correspond to the answer "Does not."
Assign digits so that 7 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Does" and 3 of the digits correspond to the answer "Does not."
Assign digits so that 2 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Does" and 8 of the digits correspond to the answer "Does not."
Assign even digits to correspond to the answer "Does" and assign odd digits to correspond to the answer "Does not."
Use your random-digit assignment and the random-number table to generate the results from a random sample of seven identity thefts. If you do the simulation again, do you expect to get exactly the same results?
Yes, this setup will have the same result every time.
No, the results depend on the response assigned to the digits and the section of the random number table used.
Explanation / Answer
Answer : No, the results depend on the response assigned to the digits and the section of the random number table used.
Because we are using random number table to generate the results from random sample .When a random number table is used there is very less chance of getting the same result for the setup.
