Table of Random Numbers

  1. List the cases to be randomized in a column on a spreadsheet.

  2. Assign the number from the table to each case. Start anywhere on the table, and move in any direction (up, down, across, diagonally).

  3. To select a sample, select the desired number for the sample from either the highest or lowest assigned random numbers. For example, for N=10, choose the names with the 10 lowest random numbers.
