"In Excel, a value between 0 and 1 that results by chance, but with equal probability of any other value between 0 and 1 "
As opposed to a pseudorandom number, a truly random number is a number produced independently of its generating criteria For cryptographic purposes, numbers based on physical measurements, such as a Geiger counter, are considered random
A number whose value can not be predicted Truly random numbers are often generated by physical events that are believed to occur randomly
As opposed to a pseudo-random number, a truly random number is a number produced independently of its generating criteria For cryptographic purposes, numbers based on physical measurements, such as a Geiger counter, are considered random
As opposed to a pseudorandom number, a truly random number is a number produced independently of its generating criteria For cryptographic purposed, numbers based on physical measurements, such as a Geiger counter, are considered random
A device or algorithm that generates numbers selected at random or apparently at random. In many cases they actually select successive numbers deterministically and are more technically termed pseudorandom number generator
