Question

based upon historical data, it is known that 8% of 12 - egg cartons contain at least one broken egg. a grocery store manager would like to carry out a simulation to estimate the number of cartons, in a sample of 10, that would contain at least one broken egg. she assigns the digits to the outcomes:
00 - 07 = carton contains a broken egg
08 - 99 = carton does not contain a broken egg
here is a portion of a random number table.

beginning at line 1, carry out one trial of this simulation. use additional lines as needed. how many cartons in this random sample of 10 cartons contain at least one broken egg?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relevant digits

We need to look at 10 two - digit numbers. Starting from line 1: 31, 84, 50, 34, 85, 96, 15, 31, 08, 88.

Step2: Determine which digits represent a broken - egg carton

Digits 01 - 08 represent a carton with a broken egg. The digits that fall into this range are 08.

Answer:
