"' Random number tables "'have been in statistics for tasks such as selected random samples.
3.
The generation of random numbers has many uses ( mostly in statistics, for random roulette wheels, etc . ) or use existing random number tables.
4.
However, the randomization can also be generated from random number tables or by some physical mechanism ( e . g ., drawing the slips of paper ).
5.
With the spread of the use of computers, algorithmic pseudorandom number generators replaced random number tables, and " true " random number generators ( hardware random number generators ) are used in only a few cases.
6.
The book was one of the last of a series of random number tables produced from the mid-1920s to the 1950s, after which the development of high-speed computers allowed faster operation through the generation of pseudorandom numbers rather than reading them from tables.
