Take the two columns of numbers as column A for the left column and column B for the right column. The first row first column can be named as A1 and first row second column can be named B1 where 1 stands for the first row and A or B is for the column.

Do this for all the rows. So you get A1, A2.......,A10 and B1, B2........, B10 for all the numbers given in the random number table.

Take a 20 small pieces of paper and write down the names corresponding to each of the 20 random numbers given in the table. Put the pieces of paper in a box and shake the box well so the papers are all jumbled up and pick up a piece of paper. This paper will be taken as the first entry of a random sample of 5 students.

Follow the same procedure and repeat it until you get a total of 5 entries (numbers).

This is your random sample of 5 students.
