Consider a random number generator designed for equally likely outcomes. Which of the following is not correct, and why?
a. For each random digit generated, each integer between 0 and 9 has probability 0.10 of being selected.
b. If you generate 10 random digits, each integer between 0 and 9 must occur exactly once.
c. If you generated a very large number of random digits, then each integer between 0 and 9 would occur close to 10% of the time.
d. The cumulative proportion of times that a 0 is generated tends to get closer to 0.10 as the number of random digits generated gets larger and larger.
Consider a random number generator designed for equally likely outcomes.Which of the following is not correct?
(b)
Generate the first number. Now generate the second number. There's a 1/10 chance that they are the same number. So it's not guaranteed (in fact it's not likely) that every number will appear.
Reply:b.
Cause if it is a random number generator, each has the same likeliness, but each still has a possibilty to be chosen twice.
Reply:b is wrong. because in a truly random number generator, each selection is independent of all previous selections.
Reply:b
