Step-by-step explanation:

The professor wants to select 4 students randomly.

She randomly select the fourth and every ninth student after that

First the 4th student is selected

Now by using the next term formula which is

=>a + d (n-1)

The next student is the 2nd student.

=>4 + 9 (2-1)

=>4 + 9 (1)

=>4 + 9

=> 13

The 3rd student will be

=>4 + 9 (3-1)

=>4 + 9 (2)

=>4 + 18

=> 22

The 4th student will be

=>4 + 9 (4-1)

=>4 + 9 (3)

=> 4 + 27

=> 31
