Random Numbers

Random numbers are sequences of digits (usually between 0 and 1) generated in such a way that each number has an equal probability of occurring, commonly used in simulations and statistical sampling.

Cumulative Probability Distribution

A statistical function that describes the probability of a random variable falling within a certain range or being less than a specific value.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational technique that uses random sampling to obtain numerical results, often used for risk assessment or to solve physical and mathematical problems.

Cumulative Probability Distribution

A function that gives the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to a certain value.
