The list of digits below is from a random number generator using technology. Use the list of numbers to obtain a simple random sample of size 3 from this list. If you start on the left and take the first three numbers between 1 and 9 , what three books would be selected from the numbered list? \( 3,5,5,5,3,2,5,5,8,1,3,7,6,4,3 \) A. Death of a Salesman, Grime and Punishment, The Scarlet Letter B. Crime and Punishment, A Tale of Two Cities, As I Lay Dying C. Death of a Salesman, Crime and Punishment, Crime and Punishment D. A Tale of Two Cities, As I Lay Dying, The Scarlet Letter E. Death of a Salesman, Crime and Punishment, A Tale of Two Cities

To obtain a simple random sample of size 3 from the list, let's pick the first three digits between 1 and 9. In this case, the first three digits from your list are 3, 5, and 5. Assuming the numbers correspond to a numbered list of books, we can look at a hypothetical list where: 1. Death of a Salesman 2. Crime and Punishment 3. Grime and Punishment (if applicable) 4. A Tale of Two Cities 5. The Scarlet Letter 6. As I Lay Dying Since 3 corresponds to "Grime and Punishment," which may not be an actual book and appears similar to "Crime and Punishment," we can interpret that the selected books based solely on the numbers remain open for interpretation. So, the numbers selected (3, 5, 5) could lead us to selections of "Death of a Salesman," "Crime and Punishment," and "Crime and Punishment" again due to the repeated 5 in the sample. Choose your answer accordingly! It seems C is the best pick if that was how the list was arranged initially, despite the mix-up with titles. And remember, numbers can be quite tricky, so always double-check your random picks to avoid any literary mishaps!
