- We will revisit this after the exam
- Idea: Simulate a SRS of a certain size using random digits. If a given value of p-hat
is known (say p-hat =0.6) let six of the ten digits represent “success” – say 0 to
5 – let the remaining four digits – say 6 to 9 – represent failure. Use the random
number table to find what proportion of the sample correspond to “success” and what proportion
does not. (get e.g. p-hat =.63 and then p-hat =.59 – this is sampling variability).
