6. The owner of a lar"e "ift shop wants to estimate the proportion of time shoppers spend in a certain part of the store. The shop is open nine hours a day, six days a wee!. Twelve observations will be ta!en over a 6&.day period. Determine the random observation times usin" Table %.1 and these instructions : a. 0or days, read the first two di"its of column (, "oin" down, and then the first two di"its of column 6, "oin" down. b. 0or hours, read one.di"it numbers in row $ from left to ri"ht. c. 0or minutes, read numbers usin" the first two di"its in column 1, "oin" down, and then the second two di"its in column 1, "oin" down.

SOLUTION : a. Days >andom number ;( 11 ($ 1* ;( 16 ;; 16 %( 33 11 &1 (% &* (; 13 &3 b. <ours >andom number 1 1 6 ( 1 * $ 1 1 3 * & 1 c. =inutes >andom number 13 6$ $; 11 %* 63 ;% (; (3 %* &* (3 1( 31 1* 6( 1&

-ombinin" these results, in the order they appeared, produces the followin" results : Day 11 ($ 1* 16 16 11 &1 (% &* (; 13 &3 <our 1 1 6 ( 1 * $ 1 1 3 * 1 =inute 6$ $; 11 63 (; (3 &* (3 1( 1* 6( 1&
