Selecting archaeological dig sites. Archaeologists plan to perform test digs at a location they believe was inhabited several thousand years ago. The site is approximately 10,000 meters long and 5,000 meters wide. They first draw rectangular grids over the area, consisting of lines every 100 meters, creating a total of 100 • 50 = 5,000 intersections (not counting one of the outer boundaries). The plan is to randomly sample 50 intersection points and dig at the sampled intersections. Explain how you could use a random-number generator to obtain a random sample of 50 intersections. Develop at least two plans: one that numbers the intersections from 1 to 5,000 prior to selection and another that selects the row and column of each sampled intersection (from the total of 100 rows and 50 columns).
