Question

Select the statements that are true. Question 2 options:

1) The number 8 by itself could be random.

2) The randomness of a number depends on the sequence it belongs to.

3) The following sequence is random: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...etc.

4) There are mathematical algorithms that generate True random sequences of numbers

5) Mathematical Algorithms will always generate pseudorandom numbers.

6) Cryptographically Secure Pseudorandom Number Generators are the same as Pseudorandom Number Generators, the only difference is that we use them in Cryptography.

7) Cryptographically Secure Pseudorandom Number Generators are Pseudorandom Number Generators for which the sequence is unpredictable.

Answer 1

Solution:

1)

True

Explanation:

The number 8 in itself could be a random number.

2)

False

Explanation:

If the number belongs to a sequence then it is not random at all.

3)

False

Explanation:

The given sequence is not random at all, although it could be but it is highly unlikely that a random number generator generates the numbers in sequence.

4)

False

Explanation:

True randomness is a myth.

5)

True

Explanation:

These algorithms always generate pseudorandom numbers

6)

True

7)

True
