Question

One cable station knows that approximately 30% of its viewers have TIVO and can easily skip over advertising breaks. You are to design a simulation of how a random sample of seven station viewers would respond to the question, "Do you have TIVO?" How would you assign the random digits 0 through 9 to the responses "Yes" and "No" to the TIVO question? (Hint: Use your random digit assignment and the random-number table to generate the responses from a random sample of seven station viewers.) Assign digits so that 5 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Yes" and 5 of the digits correspond to the answer "No." Assign even digits to correspond to the answer "Yes" and assign odd digits to correspond to the answer "No." Assign digits so that 3 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Yes" and 7 of the digits correspond to the answer "No." Assign digits so that 7 out of the 10 digits correspond to the answer "Yes" and 3 of the digits correspond to the answer "No."
