Refer to Exercises 5.34 and 5.35 when responding to the following questions: 

a. Describe how the researcher would randomly assign the participants to the levels of the independent variable. Be sure to explain how the levels of the independent variable would be numbered and which sets of digits the researcher should ignore when using the random numbers table. 

b. Beginning at the left-hand side of the bottom line of the random numbers table in Exercise 5.34 and continuing with the left-hand side of the line above it, list the levels of the independent variable to which the first 10 participants would be assigned. Use 0 and 1 to represent the two conditions. 

c. Why do these numbers not appear to be random? Discuss the difference between short-run and long - run proportions.
