A farmer sows 100 seeds of a new type of corn and wants to quickly determine the yield, or total number of ears of corn, for the crop when it has matured.

Which numbers represent the sample of 10 corn plants?58160 09695 38399 40400 32662 46254

Answer
A
58, 16, 00, 96, 95, 38, 39, 94, 04, 00
B
58, 16, 00, 96, 95, 38, 39, 94, 04, 32
C
58, 16, 96, 95, 38, 39, 94, 04, 32, 66
D
58, 16, 09, 69, 38, 39, 40, 32, 66, 46

Explanation

Read the random-number line in two-digit groups: 58, 16, 00, 96, 95, 38, 39, 94, 04, 00, 32, and so on. Since the sample must contain 10 different plants, skip the second 00 because that plant was already selected. The first 10 distinct labels are 58, 16, 00, 96, 95, 38, 39, 94, 04, and 32, which is choice B.
