The 25 members of a club are labelled 0101 to 2525. To choose a simple random sample of 2, a researcher reads two-digit numbers 0000 to 9999 from a table of random digits, ignoring any number that is not a label and any label already chosen, until 2 different labels are chosen. What is the expected number of two-digit numbers read?
