Question

The following criteria are used to validate that a sequence of numbers is random.
(1) Uniform distribution
(2) Independence
(3) Both (1) and (2)
(4) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is "both (1) and (2)"

Explanation:

Two criteria are used to check the randomness of a number

• Independence
• Uniform distribution

When we talk about uniform distribution. It means that the chances of occurrence of each of the number should be same

And independence describes that no value in the sequence should be dependent on the other value

In order for a sequence to be stated as random. It should pass through both these criteria
