Abstract

Drawing of random sample has been found to be the vital work in every branch of experimental Sciences. Most commonly used random numbers tables for selecting samples are due to Tippett's (1927), Fisher and Yates (1938), Kendall and Smith (1939) and Rand Corporation (1955). Tippett's table consists of four digit numbers, Fisher and Yates table consists of two digit numbers, Kendall and Smith's table consists of four digit numbers whereas Rand corporation random numbers table consists of five digit numbers. But there is no any table of three digit random numbers. Therefore, In this study one table of three digit random numbers comprising of 10000 numbers has been constructed by applying random drawing method.
