Answer 1

I would label the students from 001 to 975 so that every numbered student has the same number of digits.

Looking at line 105, the random digits are 95592 94007 69971 91481 60779 53791 17297 59335.

The numbers generated from this are 959, 294, 079, 979, 141, 607, 957, 917, 295, and 935. Of these numbers, the first five within the range of 001 to 975 are 294, 079, 979, 141, and 295.
