Question

Three students want to plant a different type of flower in the school garden. However, their teacher instructed them to plant only one type of flower. The gardener saw them discussing the problem and suggested they use a random number generator table to decide what type of flower will be grown.

Answer 1

100 Random Numbers

01 08 19 17 18 20 02 11 04 19 10 15 19 05 13 14 01 09 18 13 10 01 05 09 16 07 20 05 04 02 08 14 12 01 04 04 11 03 05 10 12 08 11 12 13 13 01 14 16 01 10 13 08 03 11 08 06 02 06 20 05 18 14 11 19 09 11 09 13 04 17 04 16 11 15 03 08 02 12 08 13 12 11 07 05 13 20 04 08 04 13 16 09 14 06 13 14 19 17 06

$$\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c:c:c} Number & Frequency & Number & Frequency \\ \hline 1 & 6 & 11 & 8 \\ \hdashline 2 & 4 & 12 & 5 \\ \hdashline 3 & 3 & 13 & 10 \\ \hdashline 4 & 8 & 14 & 6 \\ \hdashline 5 & 7 & 15 & 1 \\ \hdashline 6 & 4 & 16 & 4 \\ \hdashline 7 & 2 & 17 & 3 \\ \hdashline 8 & 8 & 18 & 3 \\ \hdashline 9 & 5 & 19 & 5\\ \hdashline 10 & 4 & 20 & 4 \\ \end{array}$$

They plant flower number 13.
