Simulation blunders Explain whatâs wrong with each of the following simulation designs. (a) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 26% of U.S. adults were obese in 2008. To simulate choosing 8 adults at random and seeing how many are obese, we could use two digits. Let 01 to 26 represent obese and 27 to 00 represent not obese. Move across a row in Table D, two digits at a time, until you find 8 distinct numbers (no repeats). Record the number of obese people selected. (b) Assume that the probability of a newborn being a boy is 0.5. To simulate choosing a random sample of 9 babies who were born at a local hospital today and observing their gender, use one digit. Use randint (0,9) on your calculator to determine how many babies in the sample are male.
