Chapter 11, Problem 7E

(a)

To determine

To find: The first student gets the two state numbers.

Explanation of Solution

In alphabetical order, which would be 1 from Alabama to 50 Wyoming, there is details about the elementary school with 25 student ideas to build posters about the two separate American states. The randomized digits have been: 45921, 01710, 22892 and 37076.

Alabama	Hawaii	Massachusetts	New Mexico	South Dakota
Alaska	Idaho	Michigan	New York	Tennessee
Arizona	Illinois	Minnesota	North California	Texas
Arkansas	Indiana	Mississippi	North Dakota	Utah
California	Iowa	Missouri	Ohio	Vermont
Colorado	Kansas	Montana	Oklahoma	Virginia
Connecticut	Kentucky	Nebraska	Oregon	Washington
Delaware	Louisiana	Nevada	Pennsylvania	West Virginia
Florida	Marine	New Hampshire	Rhode Island	Wisconsin
Georgia	Maryland	New Jersey	South California	Wyoming

First, there have to start at the pair’s digits. 45 Vermont is the first student to get the 1st state number. The next number is the 92nd state that we have to ignore, so there have just 50 states to remember. The next number, 10 for Georgia, is given to the first pupil.

(b)

To determine

To find: The second student goes to the two-state number.

Explanation of Solution

There have the process of random numbers continuing. For Kentucky, the second student gets the next state number 17. The next number is 10, which is already allocated to Georgia, so there is need to disregard it. The second student gets 22, which is for Michigan, the next state number.
