Answers will vary depending upon whether you interpret the problem to imply random decimal numbers (between 0 and 10, non-inclusive) or random integers (0 to 10, inclusive). o generate random decimal numbers, you might look at a random-number table and place the decimal point after the first digit in each group of numbers. Alternatively, you could use a calculator command, such as 10*rand(numrials) on the I-Nspire, or 10*rand on the I- Plus. o generate random integers, you might number 11 chips or slips of paper and randomly select one.
