Explanation of Solution

The outline is as follows:

(b)

To determine

To carry out the random assignment required by your design using table B.

Answer to Problem 6.10E

  $\text{Group 1:}19,03,25,04,02,07,18,20,26,16.$

  $\text{Group 2: }21,29,22,10,13,15,05,09,08,27.$

  $\text{Group 3: }01,06,11,12,14,17,23,24,28,30.$

Explanation of Solution

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{We assign a unique number between 1 and 30 to each bird}\text{.}\\ \text{We will start at line 118 in Table B}\text{.}\\ \text{Select the first 2-digit number}\text{. If the number is between 01 and 30, then}\\ \text{the corresponding bird is selected for the first treatment group, else we ignore }\\ \text{the number and select the next 2-digit number}\text{. Repeat until 10 unique turkeys are }\\ \text{selected for the first treatment group}\text{.}\\ 73190,32533,04470,29669,84407,90785,65956,86382\\ 95857,07118,87664,92099,58806,66979,98624,84826\\ 35476,55972,36421\\ \text{Group 1:}19,03,25,04,02,07,18,20,26,16.\\ \text{Similarly, select another 10 turkeys for the second treatment group}\text{.}\\ \text{Group 2: }21,29,22,10,13,15,05,09,08,27.\\ \text{The remaining turkeys are then assigned to group 3}\text{.}\\ \text{Group 3: }01,06,11,12,14,17,23,24,28,30.\end{array}$
