    this is a dumb question, you math JONG

    A random number generator will generate ANY number within it's range - so yes the #1 may come up. Why wouldn't it?

    If you would prefer your answer from a computer software point of view: The number 01 is a valid random number. If you are looking for an integer, most computer languages support INT(nn) which would yield an integer.

    yeah I figured that would work, had a take-home stats midterm I did over the weekend and that was the only part I wasn't sure about. fortunately the textbook doesn't answer that question and neither did my notes from class and also I didn't have access to a computer and it was sunny outside and I was kinda drunk all weekend and went for a New Hampshire drive-around and I bought this SICK new Lib Tech snowboard and the red sox and all.....so I was having problems finding information, but I knew I could count on maggots.

    edit: next question. from the Waitsfield, VT area just off route 100, is it quickest to take route 100 to 105 to get to Jay Peak? It looks like there are some backroads that might work well but I've never been farther north on route 100 than Mt. Mansfield. Or maybe get back on 89 North and take that to 105 east?
