Question
A certain newspaper provides the net asset value, the year-to-date percent return, and the three-year percent return for 882 mutual funds at the end of 2017. Assume that a simple random sample of 12 of the 882 mutual funds will be selected for a follow-up study on the size and performance of mutual funds. Use the sixth column of the table of random numbers, beginning with 80714, to select the simple random sample of 12 mutual funds. Begin with mutual fund 714 and use the last three digits in each row of column 6 for your selection process. What are the numbers of the 12 mutual funds in the simple random sample? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
i) What are the 12 mutual funds in the simple random simple?
