Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 71CE
You can test Excel’s algorithm for selecting random integers with a simple experiment. Enter =RANDBETWEEN(1,2) into cell A1 and then copy it to cells A1:E20. This creates a data block of 100 cells containing either a one or a two. In cell G1 type =COUNTIF(A1:E20,“=1”) and in cell G2 type =COUNTIF(A1:E20,“=2”). Highlight cells G1 and G2 and create a column chart. Click on the vertical axis scale and set the lower limit to 0 and upper limit to 100. Then hold down the F9 key and observe the chart. Are you convinced that, on average, you are getting about 50 ones and 50 twos? Ambitious Students: Generalize this experiment to integers 1 through 5.

In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people’s cholesterol.
