Question 22 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-1-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)

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. He decides to take a simple random sample of the crop by using a random digit table. What is the fewest number of digits that should be used, given that there are 100 plants in total?

Answer
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4

Explanation

To select plants from a total of 100, the random digits need enough distinct labels to identify all 100 plants. Two digits can represent 100 labels, such as 00 through 99, so the fewest number of digits needed is 2. The correct choice is 2.
