Appendix E

A Table of Random
Numbers
The numbers in this table were generated by a random process and have no
pattern or order to them. In the social sciences, tables such as this are used
mainly in the selection of random samples (see Chapter 6). To enhance readabilit
y,
the numbers have been organized into 14 columns of five digits each
and then subdivided into groups of five rows. This format is used solely to
clarify the presentation and make the table easier to read. Columns and rows
have no other significance with respect to the randomness of the digits.
To select a random sample from a numbered population list, begin anywhere
in the table and select groups of digits the same length as the largest
number on your population list. That is, if the list numbers in the 1000s, selec
t
digits in groups of four. If the list numbers in the 100s, select in groups of
three, and so on. Every time a number selected from the table corresponds
to the identification number of a case on the population list, select that case
for the sample. Ignore repeated numbers and numbers that are not on the
population list. Continue the process until you have achieved your desired
sample size.
