Well don’t they flatten out over time? That’s my understanding of randomness any way...

- TheCoelacanth 9y agoDo you think that the sum of rolling two dice isn't random? That isn't a uniform distribution.
- matthewbauer 9y agoI guess that’s true.
- candiodari 9y agoMore generally, one should probably say that random numbers taken from a distribution match that distribution. Taken to an extreme one might ask, can you predict random numbers taken from a collection with only one element. Obviously you can predict the next number. It'd be like a roulette wheel with only red numbers. The outcome is random, but perfectly predictable to be red.
- Sammi 9y agoYes it will. This is called the Law of Large Numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers
