Question: Is this valid? Determine whether each of the following simulation designs is valid. Justify your answer.
(a) According to a recent survey, 50% of people aged 13 and older in the United States are addicted to texting. To simulate choosing a random sample of 20 people in this population and seeing how many of them are addicted to texting, use a deck of cards. Shuffle the deck well, and then draw one card at a time. A red card means that person is addicted to texting; a black card means he isn't. Continue until you have drawn 20 cards (without replacement) for the sample.
(b) A tennis player gets 95% of his serves in play during practice (that is, the ball doesn't go out of bounds). To simulate the player hitting 5 serves, look at 5 pairs of digits going across a row in Table D. If the number is between 00 and 94, the serve is in; numbers between 95 and 99 indicate that the serve is out.
