Abstract:
The aim of this project is to explore a new statistical method to detect non-randomness in outputs obtained by a random number generator. The test detects convergence of a particular sequence that indicates deviation from randomness. The design of this test was inspired from a game of dice displayed in a mathematical exhibition to showcase convergence of a particular sequence among Random numbers generated from dice.
