Stone 07. Smith LISTING: 01. Evenson 04. Jones 02. Buchanan 05. Hazan 06. Woods 11. Vigil 12. Morrison 08. Sanchez 09. Lin 03.

Answer 1

for the listing part, I used python coding to generate 3 random numbers between 1 and 12

import random

for i in range(3):

print(random.randint(1,12))

OUTPUT: 3, 11, 12

so, three listing randomly selected are: 03.Garcia, 11.Vigil, 12.Morrison

for the excerpt part, I took last 2 digits and checked the number would be less than 50. If it is less than 50. we would select the excerpt

so, selected excerpt are: 44902, 20021, 06912
