To select a simple random sample of three students using the second row of digits from the random number table, we will follow these steps:

1. The students are numbered from 01 to 50.
2. We will group the digits from the second row of the table into pairs to match the two-digit student numbers.
3. We'll skip any numbers that fall outside the 01 to 50 range or if a number is repeated.

Let's extract the digits from the second row:

• 8909089090
• 9001490014
• 6656766567
• 1391513915

The pairs of digits are: 89, 09, 08, 90, 90, 01, 49, 00, 14, 90, 01, 49, 00, 14, 66, 56, 76, 65, 67, 13, 91, 51, 39, 15.

Now, let's identify the first three valid student numbers:

• 09 (valid, between 01 and 50)
• 01 (valid, between 01 and 50)
• 49 (valid, between 01 and 50)

So, the numbers of the three students selected are 09, 01, and 49.

Tip: When dealing with large samples, using a random number generator can be more efficient than a table of random digits.
