Question 3

A small company has either a good day of sales with an average of $50,000 or a bad day with an average of only $10,000 for the day.To simulate these outcomes,random numbers from 00 to 99 should be assigned with the intervals determined from the frequency distribution.If,during the last 50 days,that the vendor had 15 good days and 35 bad days,which of the following is a correct random number interval for a bad day?
