Data collected over time show that subway trains depart a given platform 70% of the time. You have designed a simulation to generate departure data using the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to represent on-time departures, and 7, 8, and 9 to represent departures that are not on time. Use the random number table below, starting with the first digit of the third row to generate departure data for 25 trains.

A random number table is used to select numbers at random making use of the first digits that make sense according to the value in question to produce a probability or a mean. Choose the numbers by random and select the first digits. The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 represent 1, while the numbers 7, 8, and 9 represent 0. Add all the 1's and 0's and divide by the total count of numbers.
