Question

You know that a certain trait occurs in 30% of the population. You want to know how many individuals you have to draw from the population, on average, to get three subjects with the trait.
a) Describe how you would use a table of random numbers to do a simulation of this situation.

26411 94292 06340 97762 37033 85968 94165 46514
80011 09937 57195 33906 94831 10056 42211 65491
92813 87503 63494 71379 76550 45984 05481 50830

b) Use the table of random numbers below to carry out five repetitions in the simulation method you described in Part a. Mark the table so that it's clear to the reader how you did the simulation. Begin with the first element of the first row. If it's necessary to continue on past the first row, start at the beginning of each row. Based on your five simulations, what's your best guess as to the number of trials required to achieve three successes?
