Does JavaScript's Math.random() Method Create Uniform Random Variables?
JavaScript has a built-in Math.random() method for creating random variables. I've built a simulator to test whether this method creates uniform random variables. The JavaScript 's Math.random() method originally creates a random number from 0-1 with 1 excluded. In order to visualize the results, I multiply 100 random numbers created by the Math.random() method by 10 and round them down. Start Stop Change the Range of Random Variables Created By Math.random() The JavaSript Math.random() method creats continuous uniform random variable ranged from 0 to 1 with 1 excluded. If we can expand its range buy multiplying the Math.random() method with a scale parameter. For example, we can use Math.ranomd()*10 to generate continuous uniform random variable ranged from 0 to 10 with 10 excluded. We can also move the lower and upper bounds by adding a parameter to the Math.random() method. For exampe, 10 + Math.random()*10 creates continuous uniform random varia...
