Random Numbers Table, Tippet, Fisher & Yates, Kendall & Smith, Rand Corporation, Testing of Randomness, Frequency TestAbstract
An study has here been made on examining the degree of randomness of the four tables of random numbers due to Tippet, Fisher & Yates, Kendall & Smith and Rand Corporation respectively. Frequency test (based on Chi-square statistic) has been applied in examining the randomness of the four tables. This paper describes the testing of randomness of the four random numbers tables and a comparison of the degree of randomness of them.
