Question

You want to take a simple random sample (SRS) of $50$of the$816$students who live in

a dormitory on campus. You label the students $001to816$in alphabetical order. In the

table of random digits, you read the entries

$9559294007697693354772450166328119414873$

The first three students in your sample have labels.

$$\begin{gathered} a.955,929,400. \\ b.400,769,769. \\ c.559,294,007. \\ d.929,400,769. \\ e.400,769,335. \end{gathered}$$
