> You definitely would expect a roughly equal number of 0s as any other of those numbers since it's uniformly distributed.
How would random numbers be uniformly distributed?
How would random numbers be uniformly distributed?
Think about the odds of a uranium atom decaying in a given second. Certainly a random event, yet for most seconds, the value is False, not True.
If you have a random number generator your are relying on the fact that it is uniformly distributed and thus has no bias towards certain numbers. Or if it is not uniformly distributed you would want to know the exact distribution so you can correct for it.
If you have an RNG that is treated as putting out uniformly distributed numbers but it is does in fact favor some numbers over others, that would be a defect that can cause problems/be exploited.
With a few (say 10, so 655360 runs), you will not get a uniform distribution, and some numbers (like 0) might not appear.
