The panel for a national science fair wishes to select 10 states from which a student representative will be chosen at random from the students participating in the state science fair.

(a) Use Table 7W or software to select the 10 states.

(b) Does the total selection process give each student who participates in some state science fair an equal chance of being selected to be a representative at the national science fair?
