    Definitions -> R -> Random

 Random


Without order. Not able to be predicted. Happening by chance.

However, there will be an overall structure, such as tending to be within a certain range.

These two dice will give random results, but always between 2 and 12.

Another Example: the values {2.18, 2.17, 2.23, 1.82, 1.87, 2.02, 1.83} are random, but are close to 2.
