Suppose you are interested in determining the average word length in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. You decide to estimate this average word length by using a sample of 10 randomly selected words. Which of the following methods should result in a simple random sample of 10 words from the Address?


Have a student select 10 “representative” words from a copy of the Address.



Obtain a copy of the Address on a page of paper. Close your eyes and point the tip of your pencil on the page five times, each time selecting the word that your pencil lands on or nearest.



Obtain a list of the 268 words in the Address. Number the words. Use a random number generator to determine which 10 words to select.



Select every 27th word in the Address.
