Method 1: 4 students are selected randomly. Method 2: 4 students are selected systematically. (a) If Method 1 is used, (i) write down the selected student numbers by using the random number table below with the starting point row 2 column 1. (ii) what is the average weight in this sample? (b) If Method 2 is used, (i) calculate the value of "k" in systematic random sampling. (ii) write down the student numbers selected by using the random number table below with the starting point row 1 column 7 to identify the 1st student number.

The class tutor is going to investigate the health of students by finding out the average
weight in a sample taken by the following two methods.
Method 1: 4 students are selected randomly.
Method 2: 4 students are selected systematically.
(а)
If Method 1 is used,
(i)
write down the selected student numbers by using the
random number table below with the starting point row 2
column 1.
(ii)
what is the average weight in this sample?
(b)
If Method 2 is used,
(i)
calculate the value of "k" in systematic random sampling.
(ii)
write down the student numbers selected by using the
random number table below with the starting point row 1
column 7 to identify the 1st student number.
(iii)
Which method (1 or 2) is better? Justify your answer briefly.
