Question

jeanette decided to interview two of the six city council members. she labeled their names from 1 to 6, then rolled a six - sided die until she got two different numbers telling her which to interview. is this a random sample of the city council members? yes no

Explanation:

A random sample requires that each member has an equal chance of being selected and that selections are independent (or follow a random process). Here, Jeanette is rolling a six - sided die until she gets two different numbers. Each city council member (labeled 1 - 6) has an equal probability of being the first number rolled, and then for the second number, each of the remaining 5 members also has an equal probability of being selected (since she keeps rolling until she gets a different number). The process is random as the die roll is a random event, and each member has a non - zero, equal - opportunity chance of being in the sample of two.

Answer:

yes
