A pseudo-random number generator is a mathematical function that produces a sequence of numbers that is supposed to appear to be random (which implies uniformly distributed) and is used in simulation. If the generator produces real numbers over the interval from 0.5 to 5.0, what is the probability that a value is between 2.6 and 2.9?

Answer #1

X ~ U(0.5 , 5)

P(2.6 < X < 2.9) = (2.9 - 2.6) / (5 - 0.5) = 0.0667 (ans)

Original sample can be generated in any form: binary, decimal, etc. But submitted sample must be in the form of uniform random numbers on [0,1][0,1]. The sample should not be generated by any function, like runif(), sample(), etc. Instead it must be some algorithm that you code yourselves. For example, mid-square algorithm, Fibonacci-based algorithm, etc. Random number generator 2: Find some...

A random number generator is supposed to produce random numbers that are uniformly distributed on the interval from 0 to 1. If this is true, the numbers generated come from a population with μμ = 0.5 and σσ = 0.2887. A command to generate 169 random numbers gives outcomes with mean x¯¯¯x¯ = 0.4366. Assume that the population σσ remains fixed. We want to test H0:μ=0.5 Ha:μ≠0.5 (a) Calculate the value of the Z test statistic. (b) Use Table C:...
