Question: Bob Miller, a food critic, wants to prepare an article on the quality of food at locally owned restaurants in Myrtle Beach. South Carolina. A list of 44 locally owned restaurants is contained in the data file named Dining that is on the website that accompanies this text (Coastal Carolina Dining, Fall 2004). Bob only has time to sample the food at 5 of these restaurants.
a. In the data file the restaurants are listed in column A of an Excel worksheet. In column B we generated a random number for each of the restaurants in column A. Use these random numbers to select a simple random sample of five restaurants for Bob.
b. Generate a new set of random numbers and use them to select a new simple random sample. Did you select the same restaurants?
