There are 88 students at the dance studio and 10 of them will be selected at random for cleaning duty every week. Each dance student receives a number from 01 to 88. The studio uses the above random digit table to pick the 10 students. We will have randomly pulled the numbers so we will start with the first number in the list for our first entry. From this random number table we arrive at the following students who will be used for our random sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find 10 numbers in the range 01–88 from the random number table entries ...

  89640 39437 90044

Pairs

It is convenient to mark off pairs of numbers and exclude any pair that is not in the required range. We have bolded the excluded numbers.

     46 79 50 59 47 01 93 48 96 40 39 43 ...

The student numbers selected are ...

  46, 79, 50, 59, 47, 01, 48, 40, 39, 43

__

Additional comment

Sorting these into numerical order, we have the numbers ...

  1, 39, 40, 43, 46, 47, 48, 50, 59, 79

If there were any duplicates, we could exclude the copy and go on to the next. We have to presume the table is designed so number pairs have an appropriate distribution for this purpose.
