A Question About Randomness
« on: October 11, 2006, 07:10:57 AM »
Is it just me or does the random block produce more numbers than letters?  I created an experiment to find out (use "modosad" to load it from the warehouse and just hit start...) and that's how it appears.

I'd expect it to generate each symbol with the same frequency (I have made a machine that checks this and it shows no significant bias in the random numbers). That will of course result in a 10/6 ratio between numbers and letters.
