Pointless argument about chance and randomness
" Is it predictable or is it random? You can't have it both ways. It's not 'random', 'biased', or 'predictable'. It's simply 'random' or 'predictable'. You must understand that the terms "random selection" or "random sample" does not dictate the meaning of the word random. -Randomness 2. Mathematics & Statistics Of or relating to a type of circumstance or event that is described by a probability distribution What about that definition don't you understand?

This is a purely mathematical question, and as such it is best answered by people who are informed on that subject. Deccode, clearly, is not. I am. A random number does NOT have to be selected from a uniform distribution, like Deccode seems to be arguing.
Deccode, you are are not making any mathematical sense and should therefore be completely disregarded in the presence of people who actually know what they're talking about. IGN Trinification

"´ You did clearly not comprehend what I was saying. I am saying that your idea of an event being not random, not predictable, but biased is complete BS. It is biased AND random. One does not exclude the other, because we are talking about randomness in general, not the specific terms "random sample" or "random selection". There is a definition of randomness that you consistently ignore. Last edited by Sickness#1007 on Feb 14, 2013, 2:13:22 PM

" And exactly that definition says that outcomes has to have equal chances. I would probably call it false-randomness. You are like making an idiot of yourself, without any idea what you are talking about lmao. Last edited by Deccode#6112 on Feb 14, 2013, 2:13:40 PM
