Question 7.96

66. Tomeka wants to ask a sample of students at her college, “Do you think that Social Security will still be paying benefits when you retire?” She obtains the college email addresses of all 2654 students attending the college.

  1. How would you label the addresses to choose a simple random sample of 100 students?
  2. Use Table 7.1 (page 298), starting at line 103, to choose the first three labels in the sample.
  3. Tomeka emails her question to the 100 addresses in her sample. Although she has chosen an SRS, a serious practical difficulty may make it hard to draw clear conclusions from her sample. What practical difficulty do you expect Tomeka to encounter?
