Question

Mrs. Purdue needs to pick three random students in her class to be representatives on the student council. Explain how Mrs. Purdue could use slips of paper to generate a random sample.

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

She could have each student in the class write his or her name on a slip of paper and put it in a bowl. Then, she could shake the bowl and pull out any slip of paper with a student's name on it. After 3 times, the random sample would be over, and Mrs. Purdue would have her 3 representatives.
