A shipping company claims that 95% of packages are delivered on time. A student wants to conduct a simulation to estimate the number of packages that would need to be randomly selected in order to find a package that was not delivered on time. The student assigns the digits to the outcomes.



00-04 = package not delivered on time

05-99 = package delivered on time

How can a random number table be used to simulate one trial of this situation?

Read 100 two-digit numbers. Count the number of packages that were not delivered on time.
Read two-digit numbers. Count the number of packages that are needed in order to find one that was delivered on time.
