Answer 1

a.) Since we are only given the names of students any random method would work.

Option c and d as selected are correct. As they both are random selection methods. Option c is a lottery method, option d is a random number table method.

b.) We would look for numbers in 3 digits between 001-551

So the numbers selected are :

334, 476, 301, 018, 100
