Question 160362 • NC-Math 4 CR
Each student needs a unique label, and labels should use the same number of digits so they can be read consistently from a random number table. The ranges 000–689 and 001–690 each provide exactly 690 labels, one for every student. The other ranges do not: some contain too few labels, while 001–999 includes labels that do not correspond to any student.
