CHAPTER 5: RANDOM-NUMBER

GENERATION
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this topic is to
understand the
•
Properties of Random Numbers.
• •
Generation of Pseudo-random Numbers Techniques For Generating random Numbers
•
Tests for random Numbers.

1 Explain the properties of random number & its consequences.

2 Explain the generation of Pseudo-random Numbers.
3 Explain the linear congruential method for random number generation?
4 Explain the combined linear congruential random number generation method? 5 What
is the role of maximum density and maximum period in random number generation?
6 Generate a sequence of 15 random numbers for which seed is 342, constant multiplier is
20, increment is 45 and modulus is 30
7 Explain with an example the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for random numbers.
8 Explain with an example the chi-square test for random numbers?
9 Explain auto correlation Test for random numbers.
10 Using the principles learnt, develop your own combined linear congruential random
number generator
