A researcher decides to find out whether giving students positive reinforcement improves or impairs their grades. The researcher's sample
group consists of the following 8 students:
0 Jack
1 Tucker
2 Susie
3 Jill
4 Charianna
5 Trey
6 Ashton
7 Jordan
52197 66082 97867 49397 47924 78900 59414 64755 48733
Which of the following represents a 5-person group selected for the
treatment group using the first number in the line from a table of random
numbers above?
A. Charianna, Tucker, Jack, nobody, Ashton
B. Tucker, Susie, Trey, Ashton, Jordan
C. Trey, Susie, Tucker, Jordan, Ashton
D. Charianna, Tucker, Jack, Ashton, Trey

 C. Trey, Susie, Tucker, Jordan, Ashton

Explanation:

The random sub-sequence 52197 66082 helps directly determine who we pick.

The digit 5 is first of that sequence, so we pick Trey first (as he's the 5th student). Then we pick student #2 next, who is Susie.

Up next is student #1, and that would be Tucker

Up next is student #9, but the list only goes high as 7. So we skip over 9

Jordan is next up since 7 is the next digit

Finally, the last selection is Ashton because 6 follows after.

In other words, the sequence 52197 6 will lead to these selections in the order provided.

Side note: if we wanted a 6th student, then we'd have to skip over the next 6 since we cannot pick Ashton twice. The 6th selection would be Jack since he's student #0

i did it myself and i got 4.2 (b) hope its right
