  2. Non-uniform random variate generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_random_variate...

    Non-uniform random variate generation or pseudo-random number sampling is the numerical practice of generating pseudo-random numbers (PRN) that follow a given probability distribution . Methods are typically based on the availability of a uniformly distributed PRN generator. Computational algorithms are then used to manipulate a single random ...

  3. Applications of randomness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_randomness

    Applications of randomness. Randomness has many uses in science, art, statistics, cryptography, gaming, gambling, and other fields. For example, random assignment in randomized controlled trials helps scientists to test hypotheses, and random numbers or pseudorandom numbers help video games such as video poker .

  4. Random.org - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random.org

    Random.org (stylized as RANDOM.ORG) is a website that produces random numbers based on atmospheric noise. In addition to generating random numbers in a specified range and subject to a specified probability distribution , which is the most commonly done activity on the site, it has free tools to simulate events such as flipping coins, shuffling ...

  5. Pseudorandom generator theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_generator_theorem

    For this case we prove a weaker version of the theorem: One-way permutation → pseudorandom generator. A one-way permutation is a one-way function that is also a permutation of the input bits. A pseudorandom generator can be constructed from one-way permutation ƒ as follows: Gl : {0,1} l → {0,1} l+1 = ƒ ( x ).

  6. Telephone numbers in Norway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Norway

    Telephone numbers in Norway. Telephone numbers in Norway have the country code "+47" and up to the first 2 digits of the phone number will indicate its geographic area. Emergency services are 3 digits long and start with the number "1". Mobile numbers vary in length, either 8 digits or 12 digits.

  7. Randomness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness

    t. e. A pseudorandomly generated bitmap. In common usage, randomness is the apparent or actual lack of definite pattern or predictability in information. [1] [2] A random sequence of events, symbols or steps often has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are, by definition, unpredictable ...

  8. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the world, built by Dr. Van de Graaff in the 1930s, is now displayed permanently at Boston's Museum of Science. With two conjoined 4.5 m (15 ft) aluminium spheres standing on columns 22 ft (6.7 m) tall, this generator can often obtain 2 MV (2 million volts).

  9. Telephone numbers in Estonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Estonia

    Landline phone numbers have 7 digits, mobile numbers can have either 7 or 8 digits, machine-to-machine (M2M) numbers can be up to 12 digits. [2] Telephone numbers are portable between locations and operators. The country code for Estonia is +372. [3] The country does not use trunk prefix.
