Random Numbers

Numbers generated in a sequence such that each number's appearance is without pattern and unpredictable, often used in statistical sampling and computer simulations.

Computer Simulation

A method that uses algorithms and computational models to replicate complex systems and study their behavior under various conditions.

Cumulative Probability Distribution

A cumulative probability distribution shows the probability that a random variable will take a value less than or equal to a specific value, summarizing the probabilities in a distribution up to a certain point.
