Hello,
I have a problem that I am trying to solve and I am not sure how to
do it in R.
Suppose, that 16 numbers are choosen at random from 0 to 9, what's
the probability that their average will be between 4 and 6. I typed
the following code:
set.seed(100)
sample(0:9, 16, replace =TRUE)
[1] 3 2 5 0 4 4 8 3 5 1 6 8 2 3 7 6
Is what I got, however I realize the set.seed function locks in the
number I get every time.
My question is in order to run a true random sample, wouldn't I have
to use the runif function? And then deliminate the sample to show the
numbers that lie between 4 and 6? If that's the case, how do I do that?
