In the page margin, we list 15 companies that have historically performed well in the food, drink, and tobacco industries. Consider the random numbers given in the random number table of Table 1.4(a) on page 12. Starting in the upper left corner of Table 1.4(a) and moving down the two leftmost columns, we see that the first three two digit numbers obtained are: 33, 03, and 92. Starting with these three random numbers, and moving down the two leftmost columns of Table 1.4(a) to find more two-digit random numbers, use Table 1.4(a) to randomly select five of these companies to be interviewed in detail about their business strategies.
