Each fifth-grade student in a school district attends one of three elementary schools: A, B, or School A has 100 fifth-graders, school B has 200 fifth-graders, and school has 300 fifth-graders. A school administrator wants to randomly select 60 fifth-grade students to participate in a new program designed to improve reading comprehension. The administrator will select 10 students from school A, 20 students from school B, and 30 students from school so that each fifth-grade student in the district has the same chance of being selected for the program. (a) is the sample an SRS of all fifth-grade students in the district? Explain.
(b) Explain clearly how you would use your calculator to select a sample of 10 fifth-grade students from school A.
(c) A portion of a random number table is shown below. Beginning at line 140, select the first three fifth graders from school A. Explain your procedures clearly
