Work Step by Step

There can be many ways to think about this question; I'll present one. Let the numbers 0 to 100 represent the marks obtained by a particular student. Let the sample size of 30 represent the number of students. The data generated by the random numbers applet are: 16 68 66 1 0 29 49 68 44 35 91 18 78 20 0 51 81 36 96 37 19 17 92 52 78 4 82 90 50 83 Here the first value represents the marks obtained by student one, the second value represents the marks obtained by student two, and so on. The numbers produced by the applet do seem reasonable.
