Abstract

Proper randomness of the numbers generated by Fisher and Yates has been examined by Chakrabarty in2010 by computing the probability of occurrence of each digit in the table of generated numbers and then applying the theoretical probabilistic concept of randomness. In this paper, the same has been tested by applying the chi-square test for testing the significance of difference between observed frequency of each of the digit in the table and the corresponding theoretical (expected) frequency. The test shows that the numbers generated by Fisher and Yates deviate significantly from proper randomness.
