Easy -1.8 This is a purely procedural question requiring only mechanical application of random number sampling rules: read digits sequentially, ignore numbers >654 and duplicates. No problem-solving, conceptual understanding, or calculation required—just following a simple algorithm.
1 A residents' association has 654 members, numbered from 1 to 654 . The secretary wishes to send a questionnaire to a random sample of members. In order to choose the members for the sample she uses a table of random numbers. The first line in the table is as follows.
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l l }
1096 & 4357 & 3765 & 0431 & 0928 & 9264
\end{array}$$
The numbers of the first two members in the sample are 109 and 643. Find the numbers of the next three members in the sample.
