Abstract
In 1955, the Rand Corporation published a book listing a million random digits (see [27]). A typical page contains hundreds of the digits 0 through 9 written for easy reference in little matrices (squares) having five digits along each row and each column We are interested in two main questions:what are random numbers and why do we need them?
